The city of San Francisco on Tuesday voted to impose a blanket ban on e-cigarettes — making it the first American city to outlaw the sale, distribution and manufacturing of vaping products.
The sweeping restriction also puts San Francisco at odds with one of its most prominent hometown startups, Juul Labs, which last Tuesday said it bought an office building in San Francisco — the same day the city board unanimously backed the e-cigarette ordinance in a preliminary vote. The city's board of supervisors ratified the e-cig sales ban Tuesday.
Juul claims the ordinance will "drive former adult smokers who successfully switched to vapor products back to deadly cigarettes." It will also "deny the opportunity to switch for current adult smokers, and create a thriving black market instead of addressing the actual causes of underage access and use," the company said in a statement to CBS Money Watch.

But they pass out free needles.
Yep, how crazy is this. They will ban e-gigs, but it’s ok to defecate in the streets.
Do they still update the map which shows where piles of feces are located?
And smoking marijuana is ok, but e-cigs are verboten. Go figure.
But they push pot, sex, irresponsibility and pooping in the streets.
POT = OK!!!
ECIGS = EVIL REPUBLICAN PLOT
Put that E-Cig down, here’s a Needle and Pipe instead.
LOL isn’t that the truth! You can’t buy an ecig but you can drop your drawers and relieve yourself on any city sidewalk. Just DAYUM!
So what about vaping pot? That’s the glaring dilemma.
You can poop in the street, smoke marijuana and shoot up with drugs and needles the city GIVES you, but e-cigs are EVIL?
Looks like the beginning of another state-led extortion scheme. Remember how the tobacco manufacturers gave BILLIONS to the states? Where did all of that money go?
Mainly into ‘General Funds’ within the state, so they spent it on whatever they wanted!
December 2018:
“Many states have placed the tobacco settlement funds into their general treasury, making the money available for anything — from filling budget holes to supporting other programs. The American Lung Association said North and South Carolina, for example, used some of their funds to support tobacco farmers and producers.”
Looks like it’s time for another SHAKEDOWN, Baby! *SPIT*
just obeying their tobacco masters.
While...” they pass out free needles”...
exactly what I thought.
Mitt Romney approves.
People should just declare their homes, cars and their immediate vicinity e-cig sanctuary. Nope. Not kidding.
Scat Francisco.
Yet they hand out needles to drug addicts??? This city, like most run by demoncrats, is screwed up.
