Also the third lowest state tobacco tax in the US, so less tax to loose.
Have a political action idea I would like to float past you (and NorthofAtlanta if he sees this) Permission to PM you?
PM away, I read all mine too.

the liberal educational system has banned it on all campuses along with smoking
II live in GA, where the lawmakers are surprisingly sane on the subject of vaping.
The governor of your state appoints the Board of Regents. As far as I can tell, the gov of georgia isn't a liberal
Have you looked at the Board of Regents in your state? They aren't liberals either, of that I can assure you. Larry Walker, Kessel Stelling, Donald M. Leebern, etc.
So, I guess I"m not sure what you are talking about when you put the word "liberal" in your post.
Doesn't Georgia have a law against minors buying ecigs? That law has no enforcement capability if teens can buy online.
Isn't vaping banned in Clatham and DeKalb and also in cities of Savannah and Pooler, i.e., treated just like smoking? It seems that vaping is defined similarly to smoking where you live.

Larry Walker served 33 years in the Georgia General Assembly as a Democrat. 1986 was voted Democrat House Majority Leader and served in that capacity for 16 years.
Leebern was appointed first by Zell Miller - Democrat Gov. who gives good speeches :- ) And later by Sonny Perdue - a Republican now but a former Dem for years before.
I'm always just surprised when it doesn't happen in my state first. Although, the activists have been a lot more active in CA the last couple years.
It depends on the city/county that you're in for bars and restaurants. I haven't seen anyone vape in a restaurant, but I don't go out to eat all that often, and i haven't been in a bar in years. We don't have a statewide policy though. Same for the college campuses. Currently most campuses are not tobacco free, and I don't know that any have vaping specific policies yet. The CSU regents are putting together a tobacco policy for the entire CSU system, but it will be awhile before that's in place. As of today, vapor products have not been defined as tobacco products in CA, though they do already have an age restriction.I was out there a number of years ago and I don't think I saw anyone smoke a cigarette the entire time i was in CA. So yeah I thought vaping would not be very well received.......in AR, people smoke like chimneys. Can students vape on the campuses of CA state universities and colleges, and in restaurants and bars in CA? Or is it treated like tobacco product?
It might start out low ($1.15 per 30ml), but it won't stay that way for long once smokers start converting in large numbers. Arkansas received ~$50 million last year from MSA payments, and if I'm reading their tax revenue statements correctly, they collected about the same ($50 million) in tobacco taxes in that same time frame. It has been reported that they've only allocated about 35% of the MSA payment money to smoking cessation programs and education, which means that all of the rest of that money (~$82.5 million) is going toward other special projects and the general fund. It's also worth mentioning that as of the middle of last year, Arkansas has about ~$96.8 million in outstanding tobacco bonds on which it has to make good on dividend payments.

Conservatives do that, too, with their own issues. Both liberals and conservatives have many among them who attempt, and sometimes succeed, in taking freedoms away form us. I dislike the intolerance in both camps.They're liberal in the sense of knowing what's best for *everyone* and intending to carry that out

I agree that liberals making me pay for their "save the idiots from themselves" stuff is wrong and it's driving me crazy.Name a few.
Liberals use tax money for their causes - Planned Parenthood - which I'm not necessarily against - only those who wish to use it should use their own money not mine. I would never force anyone to say, buy a gun or have them buy my guns with tax money. Low flow toilets - IF you want that, buy one but don't force everyone in the country to. 'Safety' rigged gas cans. Again, if you can't figure out how to pour gas safely - get one. But don't force me to pay the extra cash for one or don't prohibit me from using something that is more handy. Why does NPR get gov't funds but not Rush Limbaugh (he wouldn't take them but Moyers and Charlie Rose would and do). I could go on forever, but if you know of some issues that the Conservatives force down the throats of people OR even better where they make everyone pay for issues that only conservatives would use, let me know of a few. I'm sure there are some but none are coming to mind.
Conservatives? The only thing that comes to mind is that they make me pay for wars that we shouldn't be in.
