Very Hard for me to read that List of Sates and Bills.

But Thank You for Posting it.

It's Pretty Bad.

Thanks, zoiDman. I guess I'll download it, and read it some other time. Not in the mood, today.

It's isn't States that are introducing these bills, it's individual State legislators. In most States any member can create any bill about anything they like. There is probably some typical multiple of bills introduced to bills enacted into law. I bet it is a very small percentage that get enacted. If there is broad support for a bill then it's time to be concerned. But it never hurts to write your representative if there is a bill that concerns you.

That is a Very Good Point.

I did notice that two bills in Indiana were introduced, that I was unaware of, and these bills remove some of the more drastic regulations that had been passed in previous legislation. One was the impossible security requirement and the other was the labels requiring all the different codings. So some good things are listed on that site, although I didn't yet read the newer bills that made these so called good changes.

And I paid attention to Michigan where I live and there's nothing going on there. Is it possible my legislators get it? Perish the thought.

Off the topic, I'm absorbed with figuring out how to persuade skeptical smokers to try vaping in a way that's most likely to create a new regular vaper (I don't worry about dual use, that will take care of itself). I'm noticing at work one of our vapers who stopped vaping has started back again and another who stopped wants to try my eliquid, meaning it's on her mind. It seems like once a smoker has some experiences with vaping that sticks with them and even if they stray may be they usually come back? I told the girl that, for every smoker I switch to vaping, I get a $5 bounty from the Chinese ecigarette cartel so I keep asking her when I'm going to get my 5 bucks. (I'm a recovering jokeaholic, constantly falling off the wagon.)

sofarsogood- It sounds to me like you won't have to do much. The seed is planted and has taken root, all you have to do is be there when they step back through the door, which is where you already are.

Basically my state Tennessee is terming vapor as smoke for the clean air act. But here smoking is still allowed in bars and other places. So basically no vaping where there is no smoking. And also they have laws for schools considering them tobacco products but smoking shouldn't be allowed in the school system anyway. Other than that, no worries here. Thankfully.

Hopefully FL bill HB1143 gets reworded.
If not it will be illegal to just carry or possess a e-cig in a no smoking area............

"or inhaling, exhaling, carrying, or possessing a nicotine dispensing device as defined in s.877.112.Section 2.
This act shall take effect July 1, 2016"

Does that apply to Adults?

That's a load of bs. I am pulling for you guys down there. That is beyond obnoxious. My inlaws are in Fort Myers until April. They just bought a winter condo there. I'll make sure to let her know. She vapes. She got me into vaping. Maybe they can write the congressmen down there and have their friends do the same.

Yes.

What the hell? Does this apply to cigarettes as well?

Only lit cigarettes.

Yes.

We're thru the Looking Glass on that one.

Who is the Author(s)/Co-Authors of that Bill? And when do they come up for Re-Election?
