The horrific thing is the 'Clean Air' folks (I forget the actual name of the organization) actually got a bill passed in a local city here close to me - that is now being fought tooth and nail in the courts - that bans smoking INCLUDING e-cigs. Period. No business can have smoking at all. No sections / special enterprises (bars / hookah bars / smoke shops / humidors) of any kind nor any public park or open public space such as parking lots, etc. unless you are in your car with windows up, or on your own private residential property. They snuck e-cigs in at the last minute and now of course all the green happy college kids and other vapers are in an uproar over the bill they voted for, and several businesses have banded together to file suit against it on grounds that it is against state law and the constitution (which it is).
People are so indignant, self-important, arrogant, and self-righteous. I can't get over how ridiculous these people and organizations are and that they honestly don't think that ripping out freedom is any kind of exchange for their own personal agendas / ideas. It just floors me every time I see it.
Don't like it? Show your displeasure by taking your biz elsewhere. Parks? Just move 10 ft. and you're done, or if you were there first just ask the person (horrible smoker) and I guarantee 99% of the time it's a non-issue.
It's just another example of how 'cute' people work. Those that won't wear fur giving reasons that it is inhumane and hurts the environment; when all the clothing, coats, etc. they wear made from synthetic materials do much more harm to the environment than harvesting a fur-bearer that more of will be there the next year, with no effect on the environment with proper management. Nothing but BS to make them feel important, cater to their emotional issues and are absolutely certain they must be right and everyone else must wrong (and must be forced to the 'right' path), regardless of the results.
Ok /rant sorry 'bout that.
Take care all,

Please forgive!
