You can still charge people for possession, but "use" is so vague it's almost comical. How are you gonna check their fault? Vapes can be nicotine-free, so that would require a blood test, something that passive smoking might throw off. If they're using videos, photos, or even audio as evidence there's no way to distinguish nic-free vapes, or real cigarettes from props.
Maybe I'm just that jaded, but it looks like a convenient "throw em in jail" card. Throw a half-smoked cig into somebody else's bag and bingo. The only good test I can come up with is smell, but that's gonna be long gone by the time you're processed.
Read the article. Most of what you've said here is irrelevant.
As for use, it's almost certainly going to be only enforced for people blatantly smoking in public. At home, or on smoke break behind your job, I doubt anyone will even notice.
You can't be serious.
I'm asking (and guessing) how they're gonna accomplish enforcing that part. Just like you are.
Those are two separate items. That was vaping, this is tobacco products. And it's not just about use, it's about buying and selling. So it doesn't really make sense to question prosecuting use, when that's unlikely to happen, the vast majority of enforcement will be on retail sales, which ought to be effective.
