How did I know that Ellen Hahn was going to be involved in this.

Hahn said it's now considered a "best practice" to include electronic cigarettes in smoke-free laws because they are a tobacco product and they pollute the air. E-cigarettes give off tiny particles that can lodge in the lungs and cause disease, she said.

ANTZ FUD.

These guys should just stick to pushing "Intelligent Design" and leave ecigs alone.

If H a h n is quoted in a link, it needs to be broken, period. That woman is the female glANTZ.

"Polluting the air?"

There's just no facepalm strong enough for that.

I'd always rather battle smart than stupid. Aggressive stupidity is the worst. Makes you want to tear your hair out.

These days, I just chuckle whenever I hear about pissants in a silly-assed "Health Department" who think they can regulate anything when they haven't been empowered by voters to do so. Just ask NYC's Bloomberg how that worked out for him and his big-assed sodas..

At my last visit to the dentist I mentioned that I used e-cigs. The hygienist gave me a pamphlet from their little pamphlet rack. Distributed, she said primly, by the health department.

Oh noes! Antz in my teef!

That's funny as one of our local shops here got their start up money from a dentist who saw vaping as being better for teeth and health in general.
