Has anyone heard about the NYC E-Cig Ban??

[BlkWolfMidnight]

Good morning,

I've read some rather disturbing news on this topic, if this happens then it will be a gateway to other states doing this as well. I'd like to get you'll take on this one and if there is anything we as a whole can do to maybe help prevent this...



Also is this confirmed or nothing more then a scare tactic letter? Couldn't actually source a date or originating authority document on it.

This article is one BIG LIE, we have to fight for our e-cigs, write our congressmen, tell the truth and we can only win in numbers, as many vapors that there are out there we can make them hear our voices and the truths. So get up off your kester amd go to CASAA and help!

Sure it a lie but the first one to lie plants the seed ,they cant even drink large sodas and it didnt make a wave down there, they are chipping away at us slowly but surely

ASH is so ....... disgusting..... that really ticks me off me this morning.

Big government, They will take our freedom away 1 step at a time. I understand non smokers have rights but what about smokers and vapers, I guess we don't count.

We can go to Colorado or Washington and smoke "other stuff" & we can go to the grocery store & buy cigarettes & booze anytime. We're told to give our children amphetamine-like medicine instead of teaching them self-control. But God forbid, adults might suck in some vapor or drink too much soda.
Wake up America!!!

PS. Should we break the link on that so it doesn't get lots of google-time?

Amazing hu I hope everyone reads this dose something to counter act it! This is just ecigs how many other groups out there for one selfish agenda or another do you think are trying to take more serious rights and freedoms from you? This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Yep. And join the NRA too.

i can see lots of states doing this, considering the amount of money they will loose from the loss of tax's from tobacco sales, ecigs have the real possibility of wiping out smoking all together.

the government already proved that they value money over public heath when instead of banning cigarets when found to cause cancer they decided to make money off them themselves.

The New York Assembly is not in session (the legislative session does not start until Jan 14), so this vote cannot be breaking news. There's no date on it, but it's likely referring to a bill approved by the NY Assembly (the lower legislative house) in 2010 that died in the NY Senate. Since then, NY has banned e-cig sales to minors. That took effect last week.

Wow. I'm stunned. I originally vented and wrote out a lot of things that are not useful so I edited it. No point in screaming about the obvious... especially here.

Bloomberg is always looking for new ways to make people leave NYC.

We'd joke back in the 80s: "Welcome to California, now go home."... It seems this has become very true in many respects out here as well. Not quite as bad as NY, but we're getting there

Very true I enjoy when I work in Cal lots of great things to do and see great people but a prime example of over legislation

I saw this after it was edited, but wanted to say I vaped all over NYC and nobody said a thing - I had lots of people coming up to me, including police, wanting to know how it was and where I got my PV.

 

[mightymen]

I do 90% of my vaping in my house, so this will have little effect on me. It's all about money wounder how much the elected official profit from there vote ? I'm sure there more wealthy after the vote then before it!

I did see on here, someone got a ticket for vaping in the subways, laws are weird, they keep making them, but few of the people infocreing them know them.

If there is no law against it, then it's not illegal. NY (and even more so NYC) are slow with making laws, if anything we have to be more concerned with federal laws.

 

[kristin]

Just to be clear, the ticket that vaper received was from the subway "police," not city police and it was not based on any e-cig law. They ticketed him for "smoking," not for using an e-cigarette.
