    1/26 New York YNN Story - dissapointing

    My only "criticism", Turnkeys, is that unfortunately you made a factual error that can cut down your credibility. The Supreme Court has not ruled in any way on e-cigs, nor has the case gotten near it yet. It was the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that recently ruled, denying the FDA's appeal from...

    First a movie, now the e-cig on TV!

    Detroit 187, tonight's episode (Road to Nowhere), a guest actress playing a vaping FBI agent! :laugh: Edit: the first time she uses her ecig, it's when she's all alone in an interview room. But later, she uses it openly, in a meeting!

    New york sales ban next steps

    Placebo, please be aware that the Assembly website site IS NOT up to date with changes since the election, and in the committee makeup for this session. We found that out by initially relying on the site for the Health Committee makeup, only to discover when making phone calls that we were...

    New york sales ban next steps

    I just updated the OP guys, with phone, fax, and email contact information specifically for the Assembly Codes Committee. We shouldn't overlook this additional chance to attempt to kill this in committee, and before it gets to the floor for a full vote.

    Apparently the three Health Committee members who voted against the bill were Friend, Raia and Miller. This is not published on the Assembly site as far as I can see, but was reported here.

    LOL John. But, that page is outdated - fortunately for our issue, McLaughlin got elected last November, and he is now a first termer on the NY Assemby.

    Travel and Vaping Amtrak responds to vaping inquiry

    I must have missed this when posted. What "many states" where vaping has been banned? There are no "many states" where vaping has been banned! To date, there is exactly ONE state that implemented a state-wide ban on vaping in public places, and a few localites (county, city, or town). I...

    Heather, the bill provides for various civil penalties against any seller, including fines ranging up to $10,000 and suspension, or for repeated violations, permanent revocation of a retailer's registration/license to sell tobacco products. It is NOT a law aimed at the end user, other than...

    URGENT - NYS Outright Sales Ban On the AGENDA Again

    Shhh. I've posted about this too Markfm, but quietly. :laugh: And that was exactly what I meant above, when I said there were "potential legal issues" based on the NY definition of "tobacco product" Actually, I've been lying in wait on this one since last year, as our legislators in NY don't...
