Back in January there were all kinds of stories on the news and on forums that were talking about New York wanting to ban e-cigarettes entirely. Don't know where that bill went, but to tell the truth, that's just another reason why I will never again travel to NYC.

Pretty soon you will have to buy your nic juice out of some guy's car trunk. That sucks, literally. If I were you, I would start DIY juice mixing and building your own mods for when the "nanny state" gets their way (and they will). East coast, West coast, both really messed up, thinking people are too stupid to make their own decisions about anything. It takes a village, Hillary knows best LOL

Give me the Heartland any day!! They can have my mod when they pry it from my cold dead hand! Well, sorry for the editorial, but that's my 2 cents for what it's worth!

edit: maybe I came on a bit strong, sorry. It always gripes me when govt sticks it's nose into people's lives!

That's one way to get even less support for an an issue that needs all the support it can get - make it political and insult people on the east and west coast!

Yah, dopeheads make water pipes out of 2 liter coke bottles, we should ban them too!! And what about cold capsules? I hear if you separate all the red ones out, it'll get u high. Ban 'em!! And what about glass? Don't they make drug pipes out of glass. We should ban glass too!

I am sick and tired of the govt playing "what if" .. you can make a cow chip into a piece of drug paraphernalia if you have enough imagination!! Govt .. get the .... out of my business. Gee, this really frosts my buns!!!! Grrrrrrr

Oops, I'm getting off topic .. well, let me say I've bought almost everything I own from Walmart (ever since the small stores closed down), I just love the place :) They always treat me right! When I retire, I wanta work at Walmart!! There!!

Gee, I just thought I was saying how whacked out I thought Calif and NY nanny govts were. I love the E/W people (gee, my sis lives at KDH, my daughters in Cal and OR), it's only the over-regulation from birth to death that I think is ridiculous.

But, I guess it's time for me to shut up, you are right .. educating of the public is really the way to go (as long as the govt lets you do it)

Yeah, I separate the red ones from my Gummi Bears and I must admit, I get one hell of sugar-high!

Mmmmmmm....I got the munchies now.

The New Corporate America Business Model

Interesting article DC2. So now my next question would be, has the FDA or anyone else discovered that e-cigs cause cancer? I've read that the nicotine gum causes gum cancer as well as the lozenges. I know the FDA claims they need to study it more and it can take years but how long did they study analogs for and with all the harmful chemicals found in them, why don't they ban cigarettes? Money. Think of all the money the government would lose if they did. Did you read that the big tobacco companies are looking to sue the FDA for making them put pictures of lung cancer, amputations, and other cigarette diseases on their packs starting in 2012? Maybe commercials should be made to show how much safer e-cigs are the way they show how bad analogs are. Or better yet, maybe someone should give Obama an e-cig and maybe he will stop all this bull with banning them :). I live in NY and I will not be very happy if they do.
 
You don't have that right. They own the store, not you, so they get to make the rules, not you.

I vape in walmart, home depot, restaurants, etc, and nobody has asked me not to do it. But if the employees at a store ask me to stop, I'm going to stop. If it's a low level employee, I may ask to talk to a manager to see if I can get a different ruling.

I'm not assuming that I can't vape when I haven't been told that and there is no sign. The law here doesn't stop me from vaping. But it is not my property. They own the store. If they tell me I can't do it, then I'll stop.

I think that's much more reasonable than a "I have rights! The constitution says I can vape!" attitude.
Excuse me but I happen to follow all of the guidelines that you've stated... yet you still seem to be attacking me. If you look through the posts I've made in this thread, you'll see that you're merely mimicking MY stance on this whole subject... yet you still seem to be finding a way to jump on MY case. Let me tell you something, I don't have time for attention whores like yourself. I happen to have a life outside of the internet and your insignificant posts directed at me mean very little if anything. Go find someone to be disrespectful with because if you get into it with me, you find yourself banned from here. Actually we both may end up banned over a heated conversation... but I'll tell you what, I'm certainly not gonna be the one done back down. Ban or no ban, I didn't initiate this beef. So, whatever happens happens. One way or another, I win because I'm not the disrespectful one here.

I wasn't actually trying to attack you, and reading some of your other posts, it's clear that we're a lot closer to the same opion than I thought.

I took issue with "We claim the right to vape in public establishments.", following the "pursuit of happiness" argument. I don't think we have any given "right" to vape in public. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, just that the owner of a property should be able to make whatever rules he wants, even if I consider those rules stupid or ill-advised.

I'm sorry you felt I was attacking you. Wasn't the goal at all.

He has been given at least two...

Senator Cliff Stearns (who uses/used electronic cigarettes himself) gave one to Obama.
Also talk show host Wendy Williams sent him one.

No word on whether he ever tried them.
