It's no more a "drug deliver device" than Coke, Pepsi, Sweet Tea, Twinkies, Candy Bars, Coors, A Keg, Cigar, or a slurpie.
If I can be trusted to have a bottle of shiny blue windex in my house, I think I can keep my vaporizer and guns out of reach of my kids. Kids have always reached for cigarettes because they aren't supposed to. This is no different and it doesn't require EPA or other regulatory efforts to make a law prohibiting sale to kids.

we all know this has nothing to do with safety, it’s all about the tax money.
and a fat-ass RINO is the one to prove us right.

It's no more a "drug deliver device" than Coke, Pepsi, Sweet Tea, Twinkies, Candy Bars, Coors, A Keg, Cigar, or a slurpie. Sure. You've got a strong argument there. I urge you to continue to use it as it speaks truth, common sense, and it will resonate with the people.

Gov. Chris Christies administration wants to increase taxes on electronic cigarettes for the sake of the publics health...
Our goal is to achieve rough parity with the tax burden on conventional cigarettes. Those two statements are diametrically opposed, and contradictory.
Mindless bureaucracies and elected criminals can't shed that ol' "because we can" gene...
Can't be bothered with the fact that e-cigarettes are available 100% nicotine free.
Under those circumstances, using the word "parity" is beyond a cynical joke!

The fat piece of crap is the last person who needs to be lecturing people about health.
