Canton, Massachusetts ecig ban

[JuiceJug]

Did anyone hear, what the Health Board did on the vote today ? I did read their newspaper, where the director of health got 200 letters against the ban and zero letters for the ban. Guess thats a positive. lol

This is the first "call to action" case I have actually followed closely. I did a search but nothing yet that I've seen. I expected we wouldn't hear anything until tomorrow.

Although I live in Washington State, I wrote a long letter to "The Honorable John L. Ciccotelli, R.S., C.H.O. Public Health Director - Canton, Massachusetts"... and I got a response, that didn't seem "canned". Never did hear what happened either.

"Then they came for the Massachusetts vapists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Massachusetts vapist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me" Original version - attributed to the late Martin-Niemöller.

I asked the same question over here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/legislation-news/451772-canton-ma-considering-ordinance-ban-e-cigarette-dissolvable-tobacco-snus-sales-2.html

The answer didn't sound good.

Canton raises age to buy tobacco products, doesn't ban e-cigarettes - Canton, MA - Canton Journal

Sure sounds like another government move to "help people save themselves"......;(
If I were a vaper in Canton...or even an analog user...I'd be VERY WARY!!
5 years is a LONG time to "wait and see if it works".....!!
Wonder how folks would react if some municipality decided to up the DRINKING age from 21 to 24.....??!
"....to keep alcohol out of the hands of 'young people'..."
IMHO....vapers don't need "government help"!!!

I checked the CASAA page before posting the link. Maybe I just didn't see the update?

Thanks for the link Glen.

“The way the regulation was written it was a bit of an oversight,” said John Ciccotelli, Canton’s director of public health. “It was a bit of not really recognizing the role that electronic cigarettes have.”

(Thanks Glen!)

It looks like they saw the light.

Kudos to all who wrote in.
