Bingo. When people realize that government is not the answer but rather the problem, we might get somewhere.
I'm in Canada and I still sent an email. That's straight up BS man! Hopefully my emails still count 
That's actually quite shocking to hear. Not doubting you at all, but where'd you hear/read this?
I genuinely think the guy's well intentioned. But he's on this crusade that totally infringes on people's rights. The government's role is supposed to be to inform the public of harm, not ban anything they don't like. I agree with public health groups/branches of gov't taking a very active role in trying to reduce tobacco and alcohol use, but banning these things in your own home is beyond absurd. There's no law stating how big a serving glass of an alcoholic beverage must be and how many can be consumed, but somehow soda gets regulated?
I'd say the amount of time a TV can be on per day in households with children would be his next attempted legislation, but he needs people to watch him at any given moment on TV, and the media would easily get him thrown out of office immediately. So I guess TV's safe.
I don't question the motives, I hate the methods.
Will the tobacco vendors license apply to out of state mail order or Internet vendors selling to customers in NY?
Bloomberg is a textbook narcissistic sociopath. He is not well-intentioned toward anyone but himself. His only concern is getting his way and having power over other people.
Anyone who says differently is either in denial, delusional, or on his payroll.
The people of NYC need to seriously consider bringing back the pillory as a viable way to deal with out-of-control "government officials"...
I think he is using his position to perpetuate his own personal vendetta against fat people lol.
It was a piece in New York Magazine last year where they listed places you could vape. In the Mayor's office was one of them.
I believe the bill passed recently, or will be, that NY is imposing a collectable tax on all out of state vendors who have more than $1 million in sales annually in NY. The details escape me but I know something along these lines was in Albany recently.
I did show up for this, but there was potentially a strip search to get in the building. Umm sorry, no.
The link http://blog.casaa.org/2013/05/call-to-action-new-york-bill-to-impose.html rel= still takes me to a "sorry, this page does not exist" page.
That Bloombooger dude needs to be banned from office.

Whaaat?? Wow if that isn't a blatant attempt to get people to just shut up and walk sway, I don't know what is. A STRIP SEARCH? Unreal.

That's exactly what they want. Cuomo recently told sheriffs to stop opposing his SAFE Act or he would remove them from office. Disallowing NYers to have any freedoms, including freedom of speech, seems to be a reoccurring theme.
I did get a response from Aileen Gunther. She said she would be sure to "consider legislation with my opinions in mind".
Ie., generic response.

UPDATE: 5/22/13
A hearing on A.B. 7106 was held on May 22, 2013 before the Assembly Health Committee. CASAA has received word that A.B. 7106 was not brought up for a vote. However, the committee chairman is free to bring the bill back up at a later date with minimal notice.
Continued vigilance is needed to ensure that A.B. 7106 does not become law. Please continue to mobilize New York vapers to respond to the below Call to Action. If you are in New York and could possibly attend a future meeting of the Assembly Health Committee in Albany, please e-mail us at board@casaa.org.
If this bill does pass the Health Committee, this battle is far from over. In 2010 and 2011, the Health Committee voted to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to adults. Neither became law, and that was thanks in part to the hundreds or thousands of comments these legislators received in opposition.

If they're going to insist on strip searches, maybe it's time to take lessons from the Tree Huggers and start up a Vape Huggers protest.
