Quick question....just playing devils advocate. 
A local hospital has its campus as a smoke free area. Same verbiage as Ate arm. Should you boycott then as well?
How about local police department that also have the same rules for their officers while at city hall, or the station. Would Boycott them if you were being robbed or got into an accident?

I believe that it is just as wrong on both counts. Employers should not be able to force their (insane) morality upon their employees. Remember my issue isn't with bannng tobacco use but e-cig use and they are not the same thing. Although honestly, I think even banning tobacco use in your own vehicle is invasive and goes way too far. If the business owner wishes to protect people from second hand smoke that's one thing. If they wish to control the lives of their employees in such a way as to be intrusive (and again for absolutely no good reason) that is another.
Besides. Boycotting hospitals and police departments doesn't work. Your notion is absurd.

That's funny because I was just looking for car ins to get a car on the road. Guess I won't be using Tate Arm.

Thanks for posting about this Mac. I'll be searching for a new insurance company and dropping the State Farm fascists asap..
I'll tell them why, but I won't go into detail, they don't want to hear it anyway. They're on the Anti smoker/tobacco chewer, gum chewer/PV inhaler/tobacco flavored candy sucker religion bandwagon, they've made up their minds..
And I've made up my mind, they'll have no more of my money. Even if sometime in the future they dropped or modified the ban, I would still go nowhere near them for trying it on in the first place...They're banned for life.

You silly billy..
What's a smoke free area at a hospital got to do with..
this >
The use of tobacco products will be prohibited anywhere on Tate Arm premises, including within personal vehicles parked at Tate Arm facilities. The Zone defines tobacco products as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, herbal tobacco products, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, and any other smoking/tobacco product. This applies to all persons including visitors, vendors, contractors and any person located in a Tate Arm building, on Tate Arm grounds or in a Tate Arm parking lot. A notification will be sent to all vendors and contractors who do business with or on Tate Arm properties.

Well, it's a shame that the tate's farm agents will be the ones to suffer the most... and probably have nothing to do with the policy. So, do be sure to explain why you are going with another company, so the backlash will be felt all the way to the top.
It is interesting that they are condemning something that could cut down on the number of house fires and save them a lot of money. Ignorance, I'm sure.

Yes, that is a shame. I feel sorry for anyone who works for those bastards.

A few fanatics at the top have lost their common sense.

Seriously...how in the hell would they ever know if you are vaping in your own friggin' car? This is just ludicrous!
