Congressmen Spotted Smoking Electronic Cigarettes
It looks as though a handful of Congressmen have taken up electronic
cigarettes!
The battery-operated device, known as an electronic cigarette, looks
like a normal cigarette, but contains no tobacco and instead of smoke
emits a nicotine vapor when the user inhales. Reps. Cliff Stearns
(R-Fla.), Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) and Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) have
all been spotted using the device on Capitol Hill.
That's about as close to bipartisanship as Congress can get, so enjoy it
while it lasts! What's more, here's a beaming endorsement of
electronic cigarettes by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL):
These e-cigarettes are smokeless and do not produce carcinogens. The
nicotine in e-cigarettes is controlled in a capsule that can help in
smoking cessation by allowing the user to reduce gradually the nicotine
level, hopefully to zero.
Stearns has sent electronic cigarettes to House Minority Leader John
Boehner (R-Ohio) and President Obama to help them quit smoking. Hes
been seen using the device in the Speakers Lobby, where Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) banned smoking two years ago.
That's right people: President Obama owns an electronic cigarette. How
cool is that?

I dont know if its real or not, but it would help move the legislation process along more quickly.
