No. I don’t have an agenda. You simply need to watch these people. They are not talented, skilled, smart, cunning. Watch them long enough and they will reveal what they are up to. I frequently see questionable people, and don’t give me the nonsense of not judging a book by its cover, sitting outside a grocery store or a fast food place or a gas station sharing these e cigarettes. It is obvious by their behavior, their demeanor, the location they engage in such activity that there is something other than nicotine or a nicotine replacement in the device. This is common knowledge. I was told you can get advice from the right e cigarette sales people on what else you can use in these devices.
This does not mean I think they should be banned; I sort of like idiots and criminals clearly labeled. Nor does this mean every person using the device is a miscreant, but if you are shabbily dressed, covered in tattoos to include your face, are watching everyone for an opportunity for mischief, and wish to be scarce when law enforcement drives by I think it is safe to assume you are up to no good.
Furthermore, watch the alleged homeless panhandling on street corners. I used to joke that they were in a union as they seemed to work hours. However, one day I was stuck waiting for someone and I watched as people stopped and gave them money. Eventually they were approached and a large roll of money is exchanged for a bag. He panhandles a little more and leaves. An hour later, a different homeless person with sign appears. Same thing after about 15 minutes. I have seen it time and time again. Many of the hourly homeless types panhandling on street corners or in traffic are bag men or out right dealers.
Do you think these people were church-goers before e-cigs came about? Or were they pretty much the same as they are now?
E-cigs are not the problem with people like that.
