US NAVY BANS E-Cigs....

[brownbrown4]

This Sucks....
While i was out of the office doing work, one of my Chiefs (superiors) came around with a box to take e-cigs...

I came back and found out that they aren't just banned indoors... but BANNED FROM USE!

Well, im gonna go get a pack of analogs after the meeting at 1300.
i'll post up more info after i throw a crap fit at the meeting....

Whoa... that really sucks!

 

[Rockbassray]

WOW i wonder if it is just in your station or nation wide

 

[Sun Vaporer]

Brown--this really shocks the concious. It is a good example of of how misguided the preception is of e-cigs and how closed minded people can be.

Now this fellow is going to run out and buy a pack of smokes "so he can comply with the law"---something is wrong with this picture for sure.

Sad news brownbrown, see if you can find some Snus in your area. Give that a try and see if it can help quench your craving for nicotine. I really hate to hear stories like this but it's happenning everywhere. e-cigs are being classified in the same light as regular smoking, and the whole point behind banning smoking was the odor and second hand smoke, neither of those the e-cig creates.

Really boggles the mind...

Wow, just wow. I just cannot fathom just how brainless this country has become.

Dang man.....Those of you that may not be aware, the military has it's own laws. Doesn't matter if it's legal or not, if they say NO...then it's no!

Sorry to hear this!

 

[RKayne]

Damn. That is rather lame. I send my heartfelt sorry to you...at least the attorney general here in WA stated that the e-cig is not banned from use as an analog is due to it not BEING one.

 

[RKayne]

And yeah, joker, I know. I did a stint Still sucks though. Part of the reason I ran and got my neck tattooed immediately upon walking out the gates the last time. Funny how our terminology aligned with *ahem* another sector of society.

How long you been in? When you get out? lol

 

[eplanet]

That is horrible, what is the reasoning for them to do this?

 

[lowwkeyy]

I bet the "money for school" idea isn't looking so great anymore


Sorry had to throw it up there


what doesn't look like an ecig isn't an ecig
what is seen isn't "not allowed"

 

[BanjoMan]

Somebody needs to get Obama hooked on e-cigs.

A few well-placed pics of the Commander-In-Chief pulling on a Executive Chuck would go a long way...

I know you're right Has anyone sent him an e-cig yet

Josh--maybe they can not afford to lose sales at the local PX? This just makes no sense at all. Put someone in harms way but ban them from using an e-cig??? Come on. Something is askew here.

Yes, he has been sent an e-cig. But I don't know/recall which model.

i believe it was a crown 7..... but i might be wrong

 

[applefr3ak]

Thats horrible, I have sold countless E-cigs to Members of the military.. I feel bad for them having stuff i probably sold them confiscated as contraband.. sad day

 

[CDC700]

Really sad to hear this. Iou would think they'd be all over e-cigs, especially in the combat arms area. I still remember in the early 90's when a pack of cigs could be had for 1.00 in the barracks vending machines. Big Tobacco has always had a big hand in the military payroll. Wouldn't surprise me to find out they caused this.....

Greed, Ignorance, Stupidity, Prejudice! Shall I go on?

Wow, just wow. I just cannot fathom just how brainless this country has become.

As I've always said, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POTENTIAL STUPIDITY OF THE AVERAGE PERSON! Especially when guided by ANY of the above.

Ill tell you what though this shows that there is more influence to banning these ecigs than the FDA. I would look into the UCMJ to see if what he is doing correct. Because smoking is still allowed in the military. So to take away a nicotine product could be unlawful. There has to be a reason. Just like they cant take away your civilian clothes and personal possessions with out reason. For example multiple article 15's or worse and it has to be signed off by the company commander or higher. Not even the first sergeant can take them away without permission of the company commander. This is why the UCMJ is in place to stop unlawful actions by superiors.... Ive had my share of fun to know first hand. But still look into it to find out why they are doing this.

I feel for ya man, i wish I had these ecigs when I was in. it could have made a huge difference in my time in the service.
