Multiple ban claims incorrect

This article makes multiple factually incorrect claims. - It states that E-Cigarettes are banned in Bahrain, citing a Telegraph article about a Fatwa. But Fatwas are not legally binding (as is correctly stated in the Regulation section of Malaysia), and indeed there seem to be Vape Shops in Bahrain: https://www.vapeinbahrain.com - It states that nicotine-containing e-cigarettes have been banned in Japan since 2010, which is simply untrue. The corresponding source also does not state anything of the sort, quite the contrary. - It states that vaping is legal in the Philippines, when Duterte has already announced a complete ban. - On the European map it lists Finland, Norway and Sweden as having a complete ban on the sale of nicotine-carrying liquids. This is also incorrectt.

These are just a couple mistakes I have found as I scanned this article for my own research. There might be a lot more.

Division into sections

This article currently has sections on a continent, a country and the rest of the world, three different types of entity (or non-entity in the last case). Wouldn't it be better to standardize the approach by having level 2 headings for continents and then level 3 headings for countries? Phil Bridger (talk) 08:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Be WP:BOLD and just do it. Aoziwe (talk) 13:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I was rather hoping that someone else might do it, but I'll try to get round to it if and when I have time. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:39, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the difference is between a level 2 or level 3 heading is? I don't see what the issue is with the layout or how it could be improved. QuackGuru (talk) 18:48, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

A level 2 heading uses "==" and a level 3 heading uses "===". Do you really not see the problem with having a continent, a country and the rest of the world as equal level headings? I thought that was was pretty obvious. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:32, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Europe

United States

Other countries

It is split like this into three main sections. It is very simple currently. I don't know what it would look like if it were changed. I don't want it to get too complex to read. QuackGuru (talk) 19:53, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I really don't know what else I can say here, but I'll try. Europe is a continent, the United States are a country, and "other countries" are an afterthought largely inhabited by people who don't really count, even though they make up the vast majority of the Earth's population. Can't you see that this is a silly way to split up the world? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:10, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I will have to see how you split it up. Each section is in alphabetical order and it is easy to find each entry. My concern is spitting it up into too many sections. QuackGuru (talk) 01:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Illegality of ecig advertising in the UK

The article correctly states that EU law now bans advertisng of ecigs, but the contradicts itself by stating that advertising is legal in the UK. Adverts no longer appear on TV or in the print media. It may still be legal on billboards, but that's the limit. 130.88.123.137 (talk) 13:03, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Actually the section on the United Kingdom is all over the place. Very poor and seriously misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.123.137 (talk) 13:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
