First the city banned smoking in most public places. Now it’s moving to snuff out the use of smokeless electronic cigarettes as well.
The City Council announced Wednesday that it will hold a hearing Wednesday on a bill prohibiting the use of the battery-operated, tobacco-free vaporizers in restaurants, offices, parks, beaches and other places where smoking regular cigarettes is not allowed.

Without a doubt.
It’ll be hard for anyone to take banning of e-smokes serious. I sat next to a guy on a plane trip this summer....very nervous type. The minute we took off....he pulled out the e-smokes devices and puffed away. I was sitting within inches of him, and the device....never smelling anything. It didn’t bother me, and it helped this guy chill-out.
I wouldn’t have a single problem with folks flipping over to the e-smokes device and making it their primary delivery vehicle.
The drug companies want exclusive rights to the CHANTIX® market.
More likely because some folks might "suffer damage" due to thinking that someone is smoking within 27 miles of them.
As an analogy to the banning of “assault rifles.” If it looks like you are smoking then it should be illegal. When these things are illegal there will be a push to make putting the tip of a ballpoint pen in your mouth illegal or a straw if the other end isn’t in a drink. You won’t be able to hold a pencil a certain way or draw a picture of a cigarette.
What do these POS expect people who smoke and want to quit to do? Oh that’s right they want them to go back to smoking taxable cigarettes! I thought as Democrats these scumbags were the champions of the people.
What will our president do?
“Those people are mocking us! How dare they mock us with their fake cigarettes! Don’t they know who we are and how good and smart we are?” Liberals.....so full of themselves.
That's because the only thing coming out of the mechanical device is a bit of water vapor.
Two people on this thread sent me a Freepmail about the blu e-cigs I'm using. I tried two different ones before blu and dumped them. The best thing about blu is the hard case that looks like a hard case pack of cigs. You keep that hard case charged and when you leave the house take it with you as it has a charged cig in there and extra cartridges. With that, you won't run out of a cig when you leave the house. Take a charged one with you plus this hard case and that's two charged you have when you go somewhere.
When you are out and your cig goes dead, take the charged one out of the case and put the spent one in the space inside the case and it will recharge - that's because you had the case charged before you left the house. So you have a recharger with you to keep charging a cig.
My son and I went out to the hill country of Texas and I had no trouble keeping a cig charged since I had the case that kept charging one while I was “smoking” the other one. I took the cord that charges the hard pack so when we were in a hotel, I plugged in the hard case so it was ready the next day to keep charging a cig when I used up the other one. I hope this description makes sense to you as to how to use that hard case.
....been "using" for close to 2 years now without looking back even once.
Remember that these are the same people who speak so derisively of the Puritans.
“But, but we hated cigs because they stink!” Convenient Conservative FReepers...
Well, when we told ya it was all about control. Now, will you get it or will you hop on this bandwagon too?
Hear, hear!
They’ll never get it.
You're at a website where the bulk of the posters by and large cheer on the drug war and using the heavy hand of the police state to force people to do as they're told and the behavior of the tobacco nazis here is somehow shocking?
The interesting thing is many of the tobacco nazis are the ones decrying the drug war.
Every one of those jets had a compact-car hole in the back that kept the air moving.
Alas, no more. Unintended consequences.
Most people can’t be dared to care about something until and unless it’s their ox being gored. I was warning the tobacco nazis a decade ago to enjoy their “victory” over the smokers because next up on the list was going to be them and their fat, happy meal eating kids since they were such useful pawns in the tobacco war. I’m largely content to let them learn the hard way.
I started dealing with the tobacco nazis in 1988, back when we didn’t have the internet for doing our research. In the early 90’s I had friends who worked in the tobacco industry who were truly impressed with the information I came up with.
One part of me is also content to let them learn the hard way, but most of me can’t because I see where it is all going to lead -and it’s scary.
