What gives The Canadian Cancer Society the premise to say Electronic Cigarettes with nicotine are illegal? Just because Health Canada says they are illegal, does not have any weight legally. There is no law, thus no illegal action. That comment in and of itself is misleading and confusing to consumers as well as vendors. The Canadian Cancer Society should be ashamed for saying those words during the interview with SUN News.
Don't get me started on the "What about the kids" part. Kids will try anything. 
Now it would appear they are blaming Health Canada for their position and saying any vendor can apply for market authorization, as a prescription drug.
**Cognitive Dissonance**
Sometimes people hold a core belief that is so strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, that new evidence cannot be accepted.
It would create a feeling that is very uncomfortable, called "Cognitive Dissonance".
And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that does not fit in with the core belief. 
Applying for market authorisation is not necessary. It's not advertised as such by the Electronic Cigarette industry.
Also, the truth is, Nicotine is exempt from the Food and Drug Act because it is sold “in a form to be administered orally by means of an inhalation device delivering 4 mg or less of nicotine per dosage unit". This law is very clear.
Reputable retailers are not selling to minors nor are they advertising it as a cessation device or a health product, but rather a consumer recreational product and/or Alternative to smoking real tobacco, making themselves (vendors) exempt from any need of market authorization for anything drug related. On top of it all, Electronic Cigarettes contain NO Tobacco at all, thus they cannot be considered as Tobacco products.
I think the Canadian Cancer Society have alot of knowledge in front of them. It's just too hard for them to swallow and admit the reality they face.
I really liked the comment "you do want people to stop smoking don't you?" I almost saw him lose the blood from his brain a half a dozen times.
Canadian Cancer Society, during this interview, you got OWNED! The only "evidence" you provided is "possibilities" and "ideologies" as opposed to facts and real non-biased scientific research. 
Bad, Bad, Bad. We the people see right through your..
