Editor:
I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a very uncomfortable flashback to the ’80s.
Last Friday, a man, likely in his mid-20s, strolled through the Semiahmoo shopping mall, leaving a trail of clouds of who-knows-what behind him for all to breathe.
I looked for a security guard to ask him to cease, but couldn’t find one.
He was vaping.
Vaping, smoking (tobacco) and toking (cannabis) around others forces everyone to breathe the noxious, toxic by-products of those activities.
He didn’t seem to know, understand or care that the no-smoking laws and signage apply equally to toking and vaping.
Governments have to publicize this (seemingly unknown) fact.
After all, a law is only as good as the awareness and enforcement of it.
