I'm just wondering how they could possibly think that smokeless tobacco could be harmful to anyone else. The ban is just ridiculous because in the case of snus or dissolvable tobacco, nobody would even know it's being used.
They're afraid someone might spit on a sidewalk and cause somebody to slip and fall which makes about as much sense as anything else that comes from their "infinate" wisdom.
In the case of the two products I mentioned, there is no spitting involved. That's why I'm saying that nobody would even know if someone was using it. There's no need to spit with either snus or dissolvable tobacco.
Exactly why I said it makes about as much sense as anything else they come up with.
Ok, I couldn't agree more. They really make me sick. Idiotic .......
After reading all of these bans and similar type threats I've been tinkering w/ designs and toying with making a "stealth" model pv.
Ideally it will be the size of a "name tag" keychain, and actually BE a keychain with rechargeable reloadable bats or possibly an USB charge connect. Ideally it will hold enough charge to last about 5 cigs worth and atomizer and all 100% concealed in your hand (think of USB jump drive). The bats do not have to last forever because the purpose of the model is to supplement your main model -- this is for use while your say... grocery shopping and want to take a pull or in a location the censor wishes to censor you from like at your table after dinner.
Will I get it workin and looking good? I don’t know. But I am tinkering and if I do manage to whip up something acceptable enough I would want to use – I will start the sales so all others can use.
Stealth unit + stealth vaping = unenforceable ban.
Worst case and you’re caught with your hand up to your mouth cupped, your hands are cold and you’re blowing hot air (pun intended)

Directions for stealth vaping on airplane:
Equipment required:
A. Book
B. E-cigarette that resembles a pen. e.g. black Joye 510, colorful eGo or Riva with round tip, etc.
C. Spouse or friend sitting in one of the seats next to you.
Directions:
1. Position overhead air control so that air is blowing approximately 1 foot in front of face.
2. Open book and read (or pretend to read).
3. Wait until passenger in the third seat falls asleep.
4. Casually bring "pen" up to mouth, as if to chew on the end.
5. Position book to cover any vapor that escapes from mouth while inhaling/exhaling.
6. Inhale vapor, while using hand to cover LED.
7. Hold vapor for count of 30.
8. Exhale vapor down front of shirt.
NOTES:
a) Variations on this method work in other places such as restaurants or stores.
b) PG based liquid produces less volume of vapor than VG based liquid.
c) Best to use a flavor that doesn't produce a strong, noticible scent

Was looking at someting more like this, depending on room and ultimate design layout/space:
Small Li-polymer battery 3.7V 600mah
Dimentions: 8*30*30mm
600mah is damn close to standard ego/riva i believe they are 650mah. So...
As I said, its purpose is to be on the end of your keychain so your not pulling out your big ol shiney GG in the middle of the place drawing attention. I dont need 1000 mAH ot 1850 mAH. I just need enough enough to power the coils a couple dozen times while out and about... make it car/usb chargeable too... quick "reload" on the go.
The idea is to make this thing as small and discrete as humanly possible while still preforming better than some "blu" cig lol. Add in it doubles as an inconspicuous keychain, the idea is to keep it as light weight as possible too.

The concept has a lot of potential; I would strongly consider buying such a device. As far as it being inconspicuous-looking, it may be possible to work in a second pushbutton switch and a decently bright LED... suddenly it's a keychain flashlight.

That is clever. Or a laser pointer!
Edit: On second thought, all I would need is for someone to burn out their retinas with the laser. No need to give the anti's even more fuel for the fire. No need for any lawsuit either

Once regulation reaches absurd, the end of the movement is near. One person has been arrested in NYC since the ban was initiated and apparently that was a reporter demanding to be arrested.
Which is exactly why I use it at my work all the time. If they could somehow catch me doing it, I could get fired. good luck catching me doing it.
I have suspected that civil disobedience was in my future for some time now.
I hope if it comes to that, there will be a lot of us willing to stand up and not take any more crap.
I posted this story because it hits close to home. I work at Texas Tech. In our case there is a strict "no smoking" regulation in place that doesn't mention ecigs. Our university reviews and republishes every regulation every other year. I am considering writing a proposal whereby they open allow ecigs. But, after seeing this story, I am no longer sure if I should bother.
Technically, if an issue isn't addressed in the regulation every supervisor can make an enforceable decision on the spot. So when you vape, one workspace may allow it and another not. I am afraid that if I bring this issue up during the next smoking revision that they will simply include it in the ban.
What do y'all think?

In my many years of experience dealing with various types of authorities, I have found that it is easier to get forgiveness than permission. There is also an old adage, "Let sleeping dogs lie."
I used that philosophy my entire career in the working world as well as my personal life and it worked well over 95% of the time for me without repercussion. The few times it didn't just required humble apologies.
Rofl I use that philosophy w/ my g/f. I'm a big boy and I refuse to ask permission. If I want to go somewhere I will, and if she doesn't like it well, I'll ask forgiveness later. Supplication is for chumps
