    Federal/State/Local Governments' Role in E-Cigs

    Should any level of government be able to restrict vaping in indoor buildings? Should any level of government be able to restrict minors from purchasing e-cigs? Should any level of government be able to regulate e-cigs in some other way, such as through a tax? Just some thought-joggers.

    E cigs are ban from Riverside, California. Here it goes. The start is happening.

    The bottom line is this: The local government of Riverside does in fact have the right to ban vaping e-cigs in government-owned and operated buildings such as the Mayor's Office or the City Courthouse. So far, this is as far as the city council has taken this ban. Although we can lobby for them...

    Local college bans tobacco products, allows ecigs

    Smoking bans on college campuses, especially outdoor bans, have about a 50% failure rate. People will smoke where they want, particularly outside. The only way to create effective designated smoking areas is to place them in indoor lounges (like cigar bars) where smokers can congregate away from...

    Face Book deleting pages advertising E cigs

    What's so weird is that half of the people posting on the Camel page say that they just started smoking, and they look like they are in their 30's or 40's.

    Proposed ordinance in Duluth (MN) City Council would ban outdoor tobacco use (including e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco) at lake front and parks

    It shouldn't surprise anyone. If any of you remember in Minnesota, it became the first state in the country (in August 1975) to ban smoking indoors except in designated areas (bars were exempt entirely). Basically, the days of simply walking into a building and freely lighting up whenever and...

    Inhaling Exhaled Vapor

    I'm not sure if this has happened to any of you, but I was vaping in a restaurant after dinner tonight. We had gone out for a friend's birthday, and since it was buffet style I didn't start vaping until I had finished my meal. As usual, being my obnoxious self, I wasn't inhaling, but I was...

    Embarrassed to Vape?

    NC's statewide smoking ban allows smoking in non-hospitality and non-governmental workplaces only (it's completely banned in bars and restaurants). Your locality must have banned smoking in your privately-owned business (which I assume is non-hospitality). Basically, in order to qualify as...

    Should e-liquid dealers work harder to post nicotine instructions/warnings?

    I'd LIKE them too, but I'm not going to complain to the government and force regulation on them (unlike SOME people). I'm an adult, and I can make my own decisions. I'd prefer that they display the amount of nicotine in e-cigs clearer, but at the same time, they aren't obligated or required to...

    Embarrassed to Vape?

    Ever since the statewide smoking ban took effect in Indiana on July 1, many indoor establishments (even those already smoke-free) have been actually pretty on the edge regarding e-cigs. Prior to July 1, I didn't have ONE person say anything about me vaping indoors in Indiana (and I vaped in...

    Mobile, Alabama smoking ban failed today (but not before removing e-cigarettes)

    Trying to pass a smoking ban in the Deep South is like trying to pass a law to criminalize corporal punishment in public schools in the Deep South HAHA. Not going to happen lol.

    Haven't Vaped in Almost a Week.......

    And I'm starting to gain weight again. When I don't have an E-Cig in my hand, I have a piece of food in my hand. When I'm not vaping, I'm eating. I remember when my grandmother quit smoking analogs, she gained a lot of weight, and more than 8 years after quitting, she has not returned to her...

    Smoking Ban Effects

    I can definitely see in the future if more anti-vaping ordinances/laws are passed, vapers will just ignore them and indoor workplaces will not care either.

    Non-smoker vapper

    I am a non-smoker who vapes 1-1.6 mg nicotine (mainly because it's in the cheapest disposable that I can find). I vape to curb my terrible habit of biting my nails, and I also vape to normalize the behavior in indoor public places in hopes that smokers will notice what I'm doing and will...
