If so, he wants to ban it.
I want to add to this. During the past December holiday season, I heard a live interview with Juan Williams. He made the statement that he doesn't really enjoy New Years Parties very much because he knows that somewhere, somebody else is having a better time at a better party than he is at. Thats really some sick, demented thinking, isn't it?
What’s next Nicotine gum?
“So, quite frankly, it’s the e-smoker’s problem and they’re not bothering non-smokers, so why hound them?”
Because they can! The foundation has been established with tobacco, so now it is moving on to any other product that any particular tyrant decides to target.
You can thank several of your fellow FReepers for assisting the tyrants.
This just in.....Bloomberg is outlawing fog in NYC, Mother Nature is not happy.
Nicotine gum?
No, that’s manufactured by Big PhRma companies that pay front groups to demonize ecigs in order to knee cap the competition for nicotine replacement therapy. It’s a billion dollar racket.
None of them really give a crap about health.
Bloomberg is a statist and dictator, but he can’t be bought. He buys others. This will go nowhere with him.
They don’t harm the person smoking them either. I bought one 83 days ago and that was my last day of smoking. My Heart Dr is thrilled with them.
CSM, on a larger macro level you are 100% right. You have to remove the entire weed root and all and kill it.
On a micro level, the big Pharma front groups and their lobbyists are pissing up a flag pole with ecig bans. It’s “illegal” indoors in NJ.
Yeah right. It’s odorless. Good luck enforcing that one. I could if I were a lawless desperado and badass, ignore the law and vape in my office all day.:-)
But I’m a good boy and listen to my superiors and stand outside in the rain, cold and snow. (I don’t know if the NSA is watching so that is my story and I’m sticking to it :-)
E-cigs have no tobacco in them. They may or may not have nicotine, depending on what one chooses. I have been off tobacco for two years because of this device. Heck, I even vaped on the plane back from Nashville last week. It hurts no one.
Already banned in Suffolk County (Long Island). “Why?” you may ask?
Because, according to our “leaders,” non-smokers may become “confused and frightened” if they see people using them.
I kid you not.

If only that kind of cultural social engineering and social norming could make the killing of unborn humans socially unacceptable.
"This legislature also finds that when consumed in public places where traditional tobacco products are banned, the use of e-cigarettes causes fear, stress, and confusion among patrons and workers alike. E-cigarettes also seriously compromise the County's current public health laws governing indoor smoking bans and create an enforcement nightmare for the Department of Health Services' Tobacco Enforcement Unit."

Oh my goodness, Eric! We couldn’t do THAT!! It would be judgmental!

I wondered about that...other’s not knowing they weren’t real cigarettes.
A women I work w/ said she puffed away on an E cig flying across country. I asked her how the people around her reacted. She said one old coot (pardon to the coots) gave her an evil eye as he was walking back to the bathroom. An attendant came by and looked at her, smiled and asked if she wanted anything else. So I guess the airlines are okay w/ them.
I’ve never actually seen an E cig in person. But I tell you this...if they said that we were about to be hit by a meteor...somewhere in the US....I would go to the store and buy me a pack of smokes. If the world as we know it is going to be over...I’m going out w/ a pack of smokes, a bottle (or two) of Crown and a big ol’ Junior’s Cheesecake.
I miss smoking.
Don’t miss the smell or being out the $$$. But I miss smoking.
