York County, PA, to ban e-cigs in public housing

**Bill Godshall** · 06-15-2012, 10:41 PM

I'll call the York Housing Authority next week to resolve this discrepency (and stupidity of trying to ban e-cig use in housing).

An update. Richard D. Fox, Executive Director of the York Housing Authority wrote a letter to the editor that was published on the York Daily Record website: Letter: Why the York Housing Authority is snuffing out smoking - The York Daily Record

Part of it concerns the authority's decision to ban e-cigs. I will leave his words speak for themselves:

Electronic cigarettes hardly just admit water vapor. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration have found that electronic cigarettes contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze. The nicotine and chemicals affect the breathing of the person inhaling the cigarette and their chemicals cause second-hand vapor that has not been proven to be safe for other people. Australia, Canada, Israel and Mexico have banned electronic cigarettes.

Bill, have you called these idiots yet?

I already wrote them, but now after hearing that assclown I am going to call them.
But I would like to know what your experience was before I call them.

Basically I just want to know if I should try to reason with them, or just cuss them out.

All the rest of second-hand tobacco smoke content issues aside ... do we have any decent nicotine content in second-hand vapor research yet that we can cite? Anyone have any links?

I blow vapor at the computer screen while laughing hysterically about what you would have to do in a real job.

God has a sense of humor.

I knew you were lying.

I think the post above yours is probably the best.
There are others I think, but there are some questions about them.
