They’re banning these because they look bad? Or are they just upset that the free market has found a way around they’re control?

More likely because some folks might "suffer damage" due to thinking that someone is smoking within 27 miles of them.

It’s a little bit of both. It just proves for the 85 trillionth time in human history that human ingenuity beats central planning and statism every single time.

Leftists just don’t like to be mocked. It looks like smoking so they think that they are having their noses rubbed in the dirt. After all of that effort to denormalize and stigmatize smoking and smokers.

But as usual if you want the truth just follow the money. Anti-smoking groups like CTFK and ANR are funded by big pharmaceutical front groups who sell competing patches and gums and nicotine replacement therapy.

They are not doing this out of their philanthropic altruistic concern for their health of their fellow man. Pfizer Glaxo Johnson & Johnson through RWJF are just protecting their turf. It’s crony capitalist rent seeking.

The stupid liberal activist politicians just go along with it because it sounds good and they are stupid.

At the end of the day it is completely unenforceable. Here in New Jersey the big Pharma capital of the country they passed the same stupid law during the lame duck session before Christie took office.

I could sit in my office all day and vape and look like Don Draper. I could just use my electronic cigarette in restaurants and bars and not exhale the vapor.

But I am a law-abiding citizen. :-) I go outside in the freezing cold and rain in order to use my e-cig.*
