That is ridiculous. Everyone smoked in public and no one considered it rude at all. The smoking issue has always been about power and money.
How about liquid gasoline, lighting fluid, ammonia, insecticide, etc?
These people never cease to amaze him. The care of somebody else kid is the repsonsibility of his parents.
Fixed it.
This was always a women’s issue...just like alcohol. I have a very old card on the evils of smoking. The girls were up in arms. Lotta free time on their hands.
May 32rd of this year will mark my fifth year without smoking. But the smell of others burning tobacco still is enjoyable to me. I really like when someone lights up a cig nearby and...
Wait. There’s someone knocking on my door. I’ll go and see———
OH! They crashed through!
They’re asking what I just typed about enjoying something!
Oh, CARP! Now I’ve done it.
Off to the Death Camp of Intolerance for me.

“That’s not true. E-cigs still release a nicotine loaded vapor into the air that other people breathe. It’s not as dangerous as smoke but it still should not be used indoors.”
What is the source of that information. Hopefully not the same organization that falsified their findings on second hand smoke. The study I saw said that little or no nicotine is released in the vapor and even if it was the toxicity of nicotine is so low it could not cause a problem. BTW, I neither smoke nor vape, never have.
E-liquid comes in child proof bottles.
The quit smoking “Nicorette” products : gum, candies, mist, etc. do not come in child proof containers. They have the same candy flavours and their Nicotine content is higher than most e-juice. They are also sold over the internet.
A distorted half truth is a deliberate lie.
Also an episode of “Columbo” in which the victim was poisoned with pure nicotine - naturally, it would show up in an autopsy, but as the victim was a smoker, who would notice it?
Zero chemicals are released from e-cigarettes. They’re all absorbed into the upper respiratory tract. The visible vapor is water vapor.

I believe nicotine is a natural insecticide produced by plants.
“So many things to ban, so little time.”
Don’t forget swimming pools, buckets, hammers, axes, chainsaws, reciprocating saws, crow bars, ladders, stairways, cars, trucks, light rail, trains, second story windows, zip lines, airplanes, bicycles, skis, sleds . . .
But most deadly of all, socialists with power.
The nanny-staters never give up. They must control every single aspect of your life.
You forgot guns.
I used aerosolized “nicotine bombs” in my massive production greenhouses for many years, and they killed everything, except plant material. The EPA/DNR/DEP got involved in the late-90s and removed them from the market, though we had special training, licenses and permits to purchase, handle and use them.
LMAO. Citing an FDA fact sheet? And it doesn’t even address the point (it is about second-hand smoke)? I was talking about nicotine, not smoke. And I was talking about the supposed addictiveness, not issues like lung cancer, which clearly has nothing to do with nicotine.
How about addressing the points I made? Why do never-smokers display no symptoms of addiction, even when given nicotine over a period of months? What actual evidence is there that nicotine, by itself, is addictive? The answers, for those playing at home, are because nicotine is not really addictive in any appreciable way, and none, respectively.
