MINISTER IN OVER HER HEAD?

Re Ban public vaping, Editorial Dec. 19

I agree with the Star's editorial that Ontario should stick with its 
original plan, effective Jan. 1, 2016, to ban the use of e-cigarettes 
wherever tobacco smoking isn't allowed.

Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla's decision to postpone this 
ban is the second time in recent months she has shown she is 
incapable of protecting the health of Ontarians. The first was when 
she announced that medical marijuana users would be allowed to smoke 
wherever they wanted.

Minister Damerla is incompetent and should be reassigned to another 
department where she won't be able to do so much damage. She would be 
much more suited to working for Rothmans or Imperial Tobacco than 
Ontario's health ministry.
