Because many of the e-cigarettes are designed to look like cigarettes and be used just like them, they can lead to confusion or confrontation,” Quinn said

Silly people - the only public smoking allowed in New York is marijuana.
And only for non-Whites.
it does appear that if they were in the least bit forthcoming they would HAVE to ADMIT that they’re control junkies or the worst sort.
where would that leave them? game over...careers shot to hell..theyd have to find HONEST work to do...
dangerous vapors lurk...everywhere...oh HEAVENS lets burrow underground
NY is stupid. Smokers are stupider.
somebody wake me up when this bunch of wacked out fruitcakes runs out of steam. or weed...whichever comes first.
If only they would go away.
JUDO KUDOS
BONZAI~!

what a rare possibility THAT is.
City council spokeswoman says that the ban will make it EASIER to ENFORCE the city’s (current)smoke-free air act..
Laws,
To make it,
Easier,
To enforce,
More laws.
well..as long as it makes it easy..
With DeLoser in charge, the city will return to it's sleazy porn, violent crime heydays of the 1970s.
(Cue disco music in background)
THIS reminds of a house of mirrors....
with each sucessive layer of reflection the original image becomes more and more BLURRED!
“living in New York can be dangerous to the mental health of pregant women ...nursing mothers...and anyone else with any common sense...”
post of my night....thx for that....Drango is def on wrong forum. Ny is lost!!!
You mean the ones in New York, or the millions upon millions around the US and the world?
In other news: NYC banns steam.
So e-cig users should say they are smoking pot.
The entire foundation of indoor smoking bans was that it presented an unacceptable hazard to those who were forced to work in such an environment. It was a workplace safety issue, for which vaping has zero associated risks involved for others, and for the user, risks are limit by avoiding really bad junk that comes from China.
So their reach here is that it is harder to ban indoor smoking because vaping looks so much like smoking. Sounds like the only thing they could actually enforce the ban against would be devices that look and act like cigarettes (batteries that look like cigarettes with red tips.)
Anything else is pretty much easily identified as being a non-cigarette.
Yes, so BAN them, because they LOOK like cigarettes.
Second hand smoke?
No sir, these LOOK scary, so BAN them!
Any known danger from water vapor?
Um, no, but that's not the problem.
The government has "deemed" them scary, so they MUST be banned!
What about the 18 year old who never held anything heavier than a pencil with "intractable back pain" who NEEDS marijuana?
Uh, we're not MONSTERS here, the fellow residents must learn to adapt.
What if the teen needs "medical tobacco"?
Oh, what a ridiculous notion!
The ONLY smoke that is magical is marijuana smoke.
