Bloomberg makes the average pile of dog obama on a sidewalk look downright smart.

I don’t know why any sane person would live in New York or any other northern Hell hole.

Wasn’t it William Buckley who said liberals live in fear that someone, somewhere, might be enjoying themselves?

People who buy electronic cigarettes do not buy real cigarettes in the same amount.
“It’s the taxes, stupid.” :)

Because I have no other choice. If I had the means, I’d leave.

At some point, you’ll have to leave whether you want to or not. At least now, you can put away a couple of dollars here and there until you have your bus ticket.

E-cigs are taxed like regular products
Cigarettes are taxed $1.01/pack (federal)
Combined NY State and City tax is at $5.85/pack
That's some high tax revenue there.
New York City sales tax is 8.875%
For a $10 e-cig - that's only 89 cents.

What does The Great Dictator want to ban now?
To: Jonty30
No, there’s no means yet. Trying to find a job here is like trying to find oil here with a shovel. It just doesn’t happen.

Bloomberg is a nanny. But while I think they are a safer alternative for people who are addicted to nicotine, they are also unquestionably a drug deliver device, and as such it is inevitable that the FDA will step in and impose regulations, sooner or later.

and I always thought that mr Bloomberg only wanted a return to the America of the once great Christian middle class.

You know, I'm a non-smoker and I don't like the smell of regular cigarettes (but most of my friends smoke, so I get it all the time :) -- BUT, the e-cigarettes are odorless and they don't harm ME (unlike second-hand smoke from regular cigarettes), just the person smoking them
So, quite frankly, it's the e-smoker's problem and they're not bothering non-smokers, so why hound them?

He would also have to ban all other sources of water vapor. Banning steam in NYC seems farfetched but nothing is beyond Bloomie’s desire for complete control.
