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. He’s
been seen using the device in the Speaker’s 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.

It doesn't get much cooler! :D

I wonder if anyone's thought to send Arnie a Ruyan Vegas yet? I'm guessing Obama wouldn't want to be caught on camera with even an ecig, but Schwarzenneger's never been camera-shy.

I don't think I would count on that too much after all being a smoker didn't stop President Obama from signing the last cigarette tax hike into law:rolleyes:

Why not? He can afford it....

I seem to remember some news articles reporting Obama mentioning chewing nicotine gum here and there, but I don't recall the specifics.

President Obama currently earns $400,000 per year, along with a $150,000 expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.

Guess he could consider vaping an expense...
