Sanity at the city level! Forney to revisit smoking-ban ordinances

[Oliver]

Interesting story, check it out: Electronic cigarettes could be removed from Forney

That's promising

We are seeing some little cracks in the anti-ecig campaign. Hopefully sanity will become fashionable again.

This is something I have wondered about. If all these prohibitions would get rolled back as vaping became more popular.


Taxes excluded of course.

If we could get that ball rolling, the whole thing could someday come tumbling down.

What we need to start doing, when the time is right, is start introducing legislation to exempt electronic cigarettes from certain restrictions.
I doubt we'll ever get them exempted from indoor usage bans, but you never know.

At the very least, though, I would like to think we can get them exempted from any of the absurd outdoor bans.

Prohibiting vaping where smoking is allowed makes no sense what so ever. However someone made a comment about companies allowing vaping rooms as a way to reduce smoking. This would make sense for the company as it would save on health costs. However they could get hit from three sides. The health conscious, smokers might revolt, and there might be liability from appearing to endorse something that is not blessed by the FDA or. such.
