Good morning Y'all

Poeia, do you think they'll attempt (or be able) to enforce it?
I don't know. I don't vape much at indoor public places. I'm very sensitive to some perfumes so I try to extend the curtesy of not sending scents to others even if I do vape things that smell like food.

But to say that they have to be banned because some are cig-a-likes and that will be confusing so there will be confrontations. Or, maybe, it will cause a return to people thinking it's okay to smoke in public is so frighteningly doublespeak that it makes me nuts.

It's all nanny-state BS, and your mayor Bloomberg is one of the biggest and most notorious nannies of them all.

"Because I said so."

His beverage size ban didn't hold up. Not sure how this one's going to hold up considering it's only based on looking like something else. Doesn't drinking water in public "look like" drinking vodka?

LOL I remember as a kid driving down a country road, not thinking anything of the lack of seatbelts and dad holding a can of beer. Consequences were ours to suffer.

Then some bright attorneys came along and realized that just about everything we did or didn't do could somehow possibly jeopardize other's safety.

It's why we now have to have warning stickers on everything to avoid lawsuits.

Unfortunately the jeopardizing safety pond has been fished to it's limits, so they've had to expand it to things can possibly offend.

I agree with a lot of it.
Drinking beer when you are driving endangers others on the road. I don't want that any more than I want someone driving and texting. If you want to commit suicide, please don't take me with you.

Station wagons used to have a pop-up seat that faced back. Kids loved sitting in them and the car makers provided them -- not bothering to tell us that we were letting the kids sit in the crumple zone.

I even agree with most of the indoor smoking bans.

But some of these are the equivalent of reading a study that finds yellow cars are the most visible and safest at night (true) so you pass a law that says only yellow cars may be driven after dark instead of passing laws to maximize visibility for all cars (headlights, etc.)

It's more about money / power / control than any sort of common sense outcome. They can't tax hell out of or ticket something that's not being driven. They'd sooner just start taxing cars based on their color and / or charge higher insurance for non-yellow cars. :laugh:

I rode in that seat. Back then the whole car was a crumple zone. :p
