If you ask me The “Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids” ought to be heavily in favor of these devices and not want to hinder their use.
Never puffed on one. It’s illegal so I have to try it now.;)
Thanks to the commerce clause the feral gubermint can regulate anything it wants...
Because Limbaugh had a segment about E-cigs on his show.
The gist of the piece was that he used the E-cig in a restaurant and it upset people. The matre d' knew it was unlit but people still complained.

From what I understand they have nicotine and smokers inhale that but there’s no smoke. If they had been designated as drug delivery devices they could have been regulated out of existence. As it is, they will now face the same restrictions as cigarettes although it will be pretty damn difficult to prove people around you are affected by the second hand smoke.
Well, if we had been asking the question properly a long time ago, then they wouldn't. But now they do. There is absolutely NO evidence that the "right they have" will diminish or even slow in its exponential rate of growth.
On the verge of $5/g gasoline we are about to stop drilling over a sagebrush lizard. If they have the ability to tell a Texas oilman to close up shop what chance do you think you have when they come for you.
The nanny thug-state is attacking e-cigarettes.
Reminds me of my bad old days when I'd take out the pack and shake a cigarette out and people would start that protest hack right away.
I'd just look at them and say, "You mind letting me light this before you start coughing?"
When I smoked, I had always tried to be considerate of others, but the Pavlovian responses made it far more difficult.
I’ve been an e-cigarette user for a year and a half.
The only thing friends and family are subject to when they’re around me is second-hand butterscotch.
The government oversteps itself.
Again.
Another Obama job creation program.
More Federal jobs!! More drones, lard arses and AA types get to live off the taxpayer!
Once again it proofs that the government really doesn’t give a hoot about your health, otherwise they would promote it as a substitute for cigarettes in order to wean people off tobacco. Just as long as the government collects the revenue.........
>>> US to regulate electronic cigarettes as tobacco
For those unfamiliar with the product, an 80 second clip from one of those Real Housewives show demonstrating it’s use. Bizarre and funny. The lady shown is Allison Dubois whose career is very loosely the template for the tv show “Medium”.

Some would suggest the show was called The Medium cause it wasn’t rare enough, and certainly wasn’t well done.
Nanny State PING!
They’re wrong again. So far, they haven’t spoiled their perfect record.
Those Pavlovian responses caused me to have one as well -- it became very difficult for me to continue being considerate.
