This is more like it! Am going to do more reading when I can sit and dig into it, but I believe also that outright bans hurt everyone. Smokers have always seemed to yield to "No Smoking" signs, but bans are seemingly the "new Wave" way of controlling people in mind and body, who really do have minds of their own. I know, unheard of! Last week I was looking for pipe cleaners, at our grocer's, (to clean the nozzle on my glue sprayer!) and I was laughingly told I should have to show my Driver's License, because "pipe cleaners" were listed under "Tobacco Products"! Now this has gone just about far enough. "Matches", anyone??
It's just wrong. From smoking, to who-knows-what you will be banned from doing in your own home! We don't want to know, thanks! This movement has my wholehearted support.

[edit] From today's Washington Times: Ad from SE, helpful? or no?

I hate to sound like a wet blanket, but this kind of ran out of gas when Gov Doyle signed the ban.

All the more reason to contact them and see if the ecig can give them a little bit of steam...

For anyone who follows up... keep us updated on how it goes!

I know this guy pretty well from posting on Dr. Sieglel's column as well as through a Yahoo group. He is intelligent, committed, and very knowlegeable.

I heard a rumor the other day that one of our former Governor's is thinking of running again......won't say which one, but he's getting his red vests cleaned.....let's see...I think he did enjoy a good Cuban cigar once in awhile..

If Doyle, that...nevermind...runs again, I'm moving to...Hell or something. It would be much less oppressive.

Yes, I too am a suffering Wisconsinite.
