URGENT UPDATE 6/25/14:

Assembly Bill 1080 (A1080) would fine vapers $250 to $1000 for using their e-cigarette anywhere on a beach or public park. This bill has passed the Assembly and must now move through the Senate. It is has passed the NJ General Assembly and is now in the Senate. Link to bill information.

Done, and bumping for visibility.

I did add in a few thoughts of my own to the letter....

At present the obtrusive regulation, taxes and fines have forced me to plan vacations and weekends in anywhere except New Jersey. There are far too many alternatives close by and easily accessible to suffer under the idiotic tripe coming out of Trenton.

I swear, the government in NJ is insane. I own a boat in NJ that I haven't set foot on in over 5 years. My partner lives there and manages the facility so it's not costing me to have it, but my last trip was on Independence day, something the meaning of which appears to be lost on their lawmakers.

Another bump, I know there's other NJ vapers out there...
