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. Diana Hooper, Willowdale - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
