Long Beach, Ca.
New Long Beach, Ca. regulations go into effect next month. What this article doesn't say is that vaping will even be banned in vape shops. Seriously. I can go to a shop and buy everything I need to vape at home or in the few areas left that it's legal but cannot be exposed to vapor in the same shop? Even if this law wasn't based on junk science and people's sense of superiority, that is just insane!

Long Beach bans e-cigarette ‘vaping’ in public spaces

Now, before work tonight I was sitting outside a coffee shop sipping and vaping and it dawned on me that in a month I won't be able to vape there, as it is in a non-smoking section. Then I glanced over my shoulder at the street 10 feet away where there was an open piped Harley waiting at a light and it dawned on me. These people have no problem with me being exposed to unregulated exhaust from an internal combustion engine, which we KNOW is bad for you, yet I cannot be exposed to ingredients that are approved for human consumption by the fda? Seriouosly? These egomaniac antz's don't think at all, do they?

I am so sorry to hear that. I've always been a big proponent of getting legislation out to the store owners and they can put info up in the shop/online/etc to let their customers know too so they can lobby. Problem is that city and county can fling out some stupid crap so the mayor can get airtime and one assumes rounds of applause without any real by-your-leave, or publicly announced hearings which we can attend. So, on Oahu you can vape at state beaches ... but not City & County ones. Now how the heck is any tourist going to figure out what's what? Stupid gets you a long way in politics I guess, which is why none of us is one.
