I just heard a report that ecigarettes are no longer allowed in the Philadelphia venue where the Democrat Convention is being held. They didn't mention that cigarettes are not allowed, only e cigarettes. What the heck is the justification for that?

If vapers reaaaaally wanted to mess with PA I'd suggest the following:
* go to an out of state vape store to purchase supplies
* buy ONE 15ml e-liquid purchase on a credit card for the first sale
* buy everything else for cash
* everyone file quarterly (I'm guessing) with PA for the tax on the 15ml bottle of e-liquid, which is going to be what? $3 or so?
* you will basically tie them up with paperwork...and they will not get anything else done
Even better, it's monthly.

The only problem with the above idea is that it involves giving them more than a dime.

Well, I'm a bit conflicted about this.I think in this instance...
I believe e cigarettes are banned where ever smoking is banned in Philadelphia. The rest of Pennsylvania is not just Philadelphia.
I would suggest the report was badly worded. Smoking is clearly banned in that venue by the PA Clean Indoor Air Act, but the Commonwealth has not added vaping to that Act. Instead, Philly has their own ordinance that bans vaping in all enclosed workplaces except certain bars. Both laws only address use, not possession.It's very odd that the reporter would say e cigarettes are banned in the venue and wouldn't also mention analog cigarettes being banned if that is the case. This didn't say vaping was banned, it said e cigarettes are banned. I interpreted that to mean that you can't have an ecig in your pocket or purse when you enter the venue. I totally get a regulation on not vaping or smoking in a large indoor venue, but it sounded like a person would not be admitted if found to have an ecig on their person.

I looked at the convention centers web page and there was no mention of e-cigs, seems they somehow made the Dems security list though, confiscated items will not be returned. Security - 2016 Democratic National Convention
If you really want to screw with the system, over pay the tax by a penny. Computers hate that.
OMG!! So the report was right! They are banning e cigs from the venue, not just the use of ecigs in the venue and there is no mention of analog cigs being banned from the venue. That is such a pile of manure!!
Cigarettes are already banned, and have been for several years, so no need to mention it again.
OK, so possession of e-cigs is banned at this event -- apparently by the DNC. But this has nothing to do with PA or Philly law, and I doubt this rule is imposed by the venue itself.Didn't you see the new stories where them things can blow up?
