KENTUCKY: Statwide Bill Proposed to Ban Smoking and Vaping

This is laughable coming from a state who uses tobacco as a Major income.

I'd say it's totally expected from a state which uses tobacco as a major income, and whose former Surgeon General is now the Surgeon General of the United States.

As tobacco is, and always will be, a major cash crop in Kentucky, it stands to reason that they would focus a ban toward any product that mimics it. If they can effectively enforce a smoking ban in Louisville, then they feel they can do so for the entire state...logic reasoning. It is also sound reasoning that most state legislators would be compelled, through pressure from any constituent connected to tobacco, to effectively ban vaping in the same manner as smoking. Nobody in the tobacco industry wishes to see their consumers choose an alternative to their product; especially one that is as effective in cessation as vaping.

You didn't see anyone from Big Tobacco up in arms when the patch came out, did you? No worries there..."you'll be back." Big Tobacco has the same attitude as a casino when it comes to their respective products: they can show us how to play the game, assure us that the house has the advantage, and yet we still gamble (only not with our money, but with our lives). They know the "house always wins." Using the same metaphor, they see vaping as card counting...they want to call in Robert De Niro to break our fingers...

An alternative method to us is a life saver. To Big Tobacco it's a bank breaker.
