Can't smoke on public property in Sunnyvale, TX now...

[TigerLadyTX]

.... even in your own car. I wonder how long it will be before 'they' try to add "no vaping" to the law? Unfortunately, as I live right beside Sunnyvale, (literally 2 blocks to the South of me), and have to drive thru it to get to other places, this law will certainly affect me if vaping is added to it.

Wow, that sucks. I'm glad I don't drive through that part of town, because my ProVari is glued to my face for the 1 hour drive to work, each way

So places are finally making it completely illegal to smoke in your car? I knew there were places that would give you a ticket for smoking around your children in your car, but I didn't know it's been banned completely. While I am a tried and true vaper, I still feel my connections to my smoking roots, and the ridiculous laws that caused me to go to vaping in the first place, as an escape from these. I still feel like smokers are being discriminated against only because they (and we vapers because of them) are the easiest to "pick on"

Its just another unenforceable law passed by some, to say they are doing something.

Many places ban cellphones and texting in moving cars but rarely if ever is anyone pulled over for just that.

I feel a bout of Civil disobedience coming on

This is almost as bad as Boise's latest ordinance. The car ban is only in the parks it looks like. Not as you drive down the street. Boise's had that (cars at parks). Although in our 2 biggest parks they were going to create smoking sections. They even banned smoking walking down one of our main drags! Yes, walking down 8th street.
Not that I support any of this, but these folks still allow it in restaurants. "The Town Council will light up more debate as it looks at a possible smoke ban in other public areas, such as restaurants." Our Idaho legislature banned it in restaurants years ago. Boise even went so far as to ban smoking in all bars, clubs and outside seating areas open to anyone under 18. But they also excluded vaping from the rules. And supposedly we're a very conservative state, although Boise is overrun with liberals.

I really have to wonder where is big tobacco in all this? What are THEY doing about pressuring these ludicrous tin-pot gods in State legislatures, most of whom are being paid their salaries and other kickbacks from State taxes placed on this evil of all evils - the GASP! Dare I say it???? - the CIGARETTE! (Holy mole - where's the lightning? I actually said the word in a public place!) - and which - let's be brutally honest about this - is LEGAL. Meanwhile these same fanatical anti-smoking knicker-twisters continue to disregard all of those who are of course killing themselves and others with much more dangerous substances.

Sheesh
