Seems to me the legislation that CA *MOST* needs is forbidding all the fat cats from watering grass! So they have enough water for CROPS and oh.. FIRE FIGHTING?!?!??!?!

Idiots.

...and you've never heard of a brush fire being started by an ecig casually thrown out of the window of a passing car!! :)


Maybe it would be a Good Idea to ask the Mods to Revise this threads Title?

So that at a glance, the Casual Observer would not get the Impression that Everything is over in California.

It doesn't seem that anyone here who has joined in the discussion has had that problem... :rolleyes:

I was think more about people seeing this thread in the New Thread Search, and then passing on reading it because they think Everything is Cool.

Here are the (6) New Bills introduced in California after the SB140 (Leno) hearing outcome.
SB-5 Bill Text - SBX2-5 Electronic cigarettes.
SB-6 Smoking in the workplace Bill Text - SBX2-6 Smoking in the workplace.
SB-7 Tobacco products: minimum legal age Bill Text - SBX2-7 Tobacco products: minimum legal age.
SB-8 Tobacco use programs Bill Text - SBX2-8 Tobacco use programs.

I'm having a hard time taking Senator Leno seriously. I've got this mental block going where every time I see his face I think he looks like an undertaker. He creeps me out.

He might as well be, he's trying to send so many smokers to an early grave. Primo Desk Murderer.

No kidding! When I was a kid, we used to see ol Smoky the Bear on TV all the time, telling us that ONLY WE could prevent forest fires. CA really needs to bring that guy buy, and start inserting those clips in every text msg and video anything. Except to tell Californians that only they can prevent WILDFIRES, by not throwing their butts out car windows! :facepalm:

I confess, I was a .... thrower myself. BUT, pre-2009-floods, when we had a 10 year drought, I put those puppies OUT before I tossed em! So yeah I was a litterbug, but not a firebug!

I just watched the video, I'll try to find the link but the vote was 8-2 in favor though the official vote has been put "on call" due to some committee members being absent. Unless some of those who voted in favor change their mind, it will be passed.

What a load of bull poop. Thank you for posting the video, Lessifer. Was the audio a third grade class project?

ETA - Seriously? He thinks tobacco is the only place on the planet you can get nicotine? Somebody send him a crate of eggplant.

The person who shot the video or posted it apologized for the echo, not sure what happened. Almost nothing Leno said was factual... Of course, the opposition only got 6 minutes to speak between the two of them, and no chance to remark on the fact that this bill combined with the other bills is what would lead to the financial ruin of the industry in CA.

Well... you know there are a real lot of attorneys in California. :D They're probably salivating over this. :D

I thought it was a state video. If it was just somebody there, kudos to them for taping it. :thumbs:

I didn't make it past that but will tomorrow when I'm home alone. Those that are voting for, do you really think they care about vape shops going out of business? They lie through their teeth to get their way, they don't care about us, they care about money.
