I just heard a report that ecigarettes are no longer allowed in the Philadelphia venue where the Democrat Convention is being held. They didn't mention that cigarettes are not allowed, only e cigarettes. What the heck is the justification for that?
Updated!! Pennsylvania: 40% tax = game over for vape

I believe e cigarettes are banned where ever smoking is banned in Philadelphia. The rest of Pennsylvania is not just Philadelphia.
I really like the way you think!
The only problem with the above idea is that it involves giving them more than a dime.

Then, fill out the paperwork and send in the check for the 40% on an O-ring or a screw. A single screw each month would be great just for the pun.

Well, I'm a bit conflicted about this.
You see, other than some fresh 18650s, I don't foresee the need to buy much of anything.
It's very odd that the reporter would say e cigarettes are banned in the venue and wouldn't also mention analog cigarettes being banned if that is the case. This didn't say vaping was banned, it said e cigarettes are banned. I interpreted that to mean that you can't have an ecig in your pocket or purse when you enter the venue. I totally get a regulation on not vaping or smoking in a large indoor venue, but it sounded like a person would not be admitted if found to have an ecig on their person.
I would suggest the report was badly worded. Smoking is clearly banned in that venue by the PA Clean Indoor Air Act, but the Commonwealth has not added vaping to that Act. Instead, Philly has their own ordinance that bans vaping in all enclosed workplaces except certain bars. Both laws only address use, not possession.
Didn't you see the new stories where them things can blow up?
I looked at the convention centers web page and there was no mention of e-cigs, seems they somehow made the Dems security list though, confiscated items will not be returned. Security - 2016 Democratic National Convention
Good! Your explanation makes a lot more sense.

OMG!! So the report was right! They are banning e cigs from the venue, not just the use of ecigs in the venue and there is no mention of analog cigs being banned from the venue. That is such a pile of manure!!
If you really want to screw with the system, over pay the tax by a penny. Computers hate that.
Another way to really bollix up the system is to accordion-fold the check with 1/8th-1/4 inch wide pleats. Then they can't be read automatically by any check reading machine.
If you make the creases really sharp by rubbing over them with your thumbnail against a hard surface, no one can straighten them out enough.
You have to straighten them out a bit to mail them, though. But just enough to mail them.
They say the prohibited items will be confiscated. If they intended to include analogs in that group, I think they would have mentioned it.
OK, so possession of e-cigs is banned at this event -- apparently by the DNC. But this has nothing to do with PA or Philly law, and I doubt this rule is imposed by the venue itself.Didn't you see the new stories where them things can blow up?
