A Voice of Reason in Granite Falls

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

I have no idea where Granite Falls is, but I'm thinking of moving there. I like to be surrounded by thinking individuals, such as him or her who notes that "...the default position [of lawmakers] ought to be that adults are free to make their own decisions unless there's a good reason for government to interfere."

Granite Falls is in Minnesota, approx. 200 miles east of Minneapolis (thank you, Google maps). I'd be very happy to join you there (perhaps we could start a vaping commune...?) except Minnesota has winter and I don't do winter...

This editorial is a must read for any vaper who needs a ray of sunshine to brighten up their day! Good catch, PI! Thank you.

Some health officials have suggested prohibiting e-cigarettes because researchers don’t yet know whether they are harmful.
So they must be proven to be deadly before they're acceptable like cigarettes & alcohol?

But the default position ought to be that adults are free to make their own decisions unless there’s a good reason for government to interfere.
Awesome writing that

Boards of health, especially, must be guided by science, not personal opinions.
Before they prohibit the use of e-cigarettes, they should think twice.
Their responsibility is to protect the public health, not prohibit products they disapprove of.

Metrowest Daily News in Metrowest Boston - We're in a serious fight here in this greedy nanny state.
We need more writers like this guy.


Thanks for the link

Its all about personal opinions, banning smoking outdoors is a stretch, let alone e-cigs!

I think boards of health are the useful idiots Carl Phillips keeps mentioning Just sayin'

That is an excellent article indeed. I left my comment as I think we should encourage writers like these to continue telling the truth.

I'm up for the Granite Falls VapeMune - because there is a winter

If you'll build me a tropical vaporium, I might reconsider...

Great article. Thanks for posting it.

I would have liked to have read the comments but couldn't get to it. Something on the webpage kept messing with my browser.

Here's the original editorial -
Editorial: Rational policy for e-cigarettes - Framingham, MA - The MetroWest Daily News

I'm sure Granite Falls is a nice place but Metrowest Daily News is from Metrowest Boston.
Not a bad place either IMHO

The Advocate Tribune got the story from Gatehouse News Service -

It's a sunny day in whatever neighborhood you're reading it in
