"But I don't understand why people want to pretend that they're smoking."

and if she can't understand it, it surely shouldn't be allowed.

I don't understand why there's stupid people. Maybe we should ban them

Ha ha.....to be honest I am so tired of hearing the word 'BAN' that I think it should be banned from our vocabulary.

Strange how the anti-smoking crowd doesn't want anything that even resembles smoking being allowed. Reading the article I was surprised that I didn't read about how this was targeted at kids. But they did mention the flavors of chocolate and cherry. I'm going to assume that they put that there so someone else could say: Hey! Kids like chocolate!

I also had to grunt a bit when I read about the nicotine nirvana that the sales person was in.

I really hope that testing is performed on e-cigs, carts, and liquid very quickly. So if there are problems they can be corrected. So that the anti-smoking crowd will have to explain themselves if they continue their crusade against e-cigs.
