Positive Experience in Charlottesville, VA Restaurant/Bar

[richs10]

I wanted to post about a positive experience I had in a restaurant/bar in Charlottesville, Virginia yesterday. We were traveling through Virginia and had stopped for dinner. We were sitting in the bar area and I asked the bartender if I could use my E-Cig (a Joye eGo). She said as long as there was no smoke, it was fine.

She seemed to be vaguely aware of the recent decision by Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's new Attorney General, that e-cigarettes are not "smoking" and are therefore not covered by Virginia's smoking laws. Some people may think this guy is a bit "out there", but I like his position on e-cigs. (His decision to re-design of the Great Seal of Virginia (originally designed in 1776) to cover the exposed breast of the Roman figure of Virtus may be another matter).

Cool!

Did you know that one of our ECF members (Storyspinr) had a major hand in that? After she saw the health deptartment including the ecigs in the indoor ban on their web site and they refused to listen to her, she contacted her representative and he contacted Cuccinelli to make a ruling. Luckily, he made the RIGHT ruling!

Goes to show that we CAN make a difference!!

Cool! I live in Charlottesville but have only asked in one restaurant so far and the girl was a bit confused so I just said no problem and put my pv away. MayI ask where you stopped? I may go there for dinner! lol

Good job, Storyspinr!
It felt great to have a "smoke" after a good meal without having to go out in the rain!

Lol,
God forbid our kids know what a breast is.
