"It seems a small, but influential number of representatives
insist upon smoking in their offices."


Legislators not interested in kicking their nicotine addictions have alternative products they can use to satisfy their cravings without polluting the air for everyone else. Drug stores sell FDA-approved nicotine replacement products available in gum, lozenges, nasal sprays and patches. tobacco retailers sell smokeless tobacco products available in orbs, gelatin strips, sticks and snus. Electronic cigarettes are another option if they wish to mimic actual smoking.

It has to be driving the anti smoking nuts crazy to have Reps excluded from their agenda.It looks really bad to pass legislation to create a smoke free environment and then exclude yourself. I am sure they wont identify the smoking Reps.Maybe these Reps will see the light and take a stance on e cigs.You have to start somewhere.
