E cigs are alot safer than regular smokes, but that wont stop libs from trying to ban the lesser of two evils...

Gov. Mary Fallin has issued an executive order

Does a mere governor have that power?

“Fallin is an anti-smoking advocate and says that electronic cigarettes and similar products emit vapor that contains chemicals and can impact bystanders”

Hogwash. A couple family members of mine use E-Cigs, and you’d have to be sitting right next to them in a broom closet to notice anything. I’m more impacted by the guy having stinky bleu cheese dressing on his salad at lunch at the next table than someone with an E-Cig.

I don’t like bleu cheese much.

Are e-cigarettes taxed? If not, you have the answer to the ban.

Oh, come on, Mary. Just shut up and promote the oil industry and let people smoke - or breathe steam - if they want to.

I don’t smoke, but as far as I’ve heard, e-cigerettes have not been associated with any health woes. And they smell better too.

Generally, for a law to be considered lawful, it must serve some public need. ‘Maybe’ harmful has never reached that particular threshold, and I strongly suggest that someone fighting this inane piece of directive should pull the court viewpoint from NY; nothing better than to use the same court reasoning that doomed Bloombergs big gulp banning.

no more government laws at any level . we have enough.

how about a moratorium on new laws?

just repeal , starting with obamacare, then repeal the 1965 immigration act etc.

the potential long-term health effects of the products are unknown.

That is an irrational rationale. If it were applied, half or more of the products ever invented or created could be banned by such a ridiculous reason.

Is Gov. Fallin another nannystater?

Liberal weenies have been so conditioned to not just dislike, but actually FEAR cigarettes, that I’ll bet if a fad erupted where people just walked around with paper tubes in their mouths, there would be an uprising against that, too.
