What kills me is when you have a kid less than half your age carding you. Especially if they themselves aren't old enough to smoke!

Took the kid to a movie last night (Toy Story 1 and Toy Story II in 3D) and as we walked in the theater I saw large signs saying "Electronic Smoking devices Prohibited". Kinda caught me off guard. I guess the theater has already had some form of introduction to PV's!
I can fully understand the ban in the actual theater, but I was surprised that they were banned in the lobby as well.

Ha, irony....when we want, we can't be compared to cigarettes, when we don't, we are!!

S-Bee: I'm in Brookfield - what theatre was this (they are right on top-of-it / in a very Bad way). If it 'looks' like smoke BAN IT-BAN IT NOW
Tommy Thompson More More More!!! They should bring the guy back just for the hilarious sound bytes.
Here's one. Tommy, up North concerning the new baseball stadium extra sales tax for us metro-Milwaukeeans: "Stick it to em"

The Magestic... right in your back yard.
Last night we went to Hilltop in Delafield (I guess it's movie week!)... no problems there and I was vaping in the lobby before and after the showing.
We sure could use the Humor!! The thing I never liked about him...heck....never mind, but nobody should be named Tommy.
Since this is only one of two wisconsin threads i've found here i'll post the e-mail I just received from senator kohls office.
Dear Mr. Lenten:
Thank you for contacting me about electronic cigarettes. I apologize about the delay in my reponse.
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. About 400,000 smokers die each year as a result of tobacco-related diseases, and it's estimated that as many as 50,000 non-smokers die annually from illnesses caused by exposure to secondary smoke. Smoking is a dangerous addiction and I believe that Americans, particularly young people, deserve to be fully aware of the risks of using tobacco products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on June 22, 2009 that electronic cigarettes, or "e-cigarettes," contain the same carcinogens and toxins that are also found in anti-freeze. These products have not been submitted to the FDA for analysis or approval, and the FDA has only performed limited testing on different brands to analyze what levels of nicotine and other chemicals are present in e-cigarettes. The FDA is concerned about the safety of these products, especially how they are being marketed to young adults.
The "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" was signed into law by President Obama on June 22, 2009. This law gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the legal authority to regulate tobacco products. This includes some restriction of tobacco advertisements, stronger warning labels, and the authority to remove certain ingredients from tobacco products that are deemed hazardous.
I believe that this newly enacted law will go a long way toward protecting the public - and better educating our children - about the consequences of tobacco use, and I was pleased to see it signed into law.
Again, thank you for contacting me about this issue. I appreciate having the benefit of your views and hope you will contact me again in the future if I may be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Herb Kohl
United States Senator

Pretty much a waste of the electrons that died or suffered in getting the message to you.....
Sad.
Sad.
WHAT?
You were actually expecting Herbie to actually THINK about it!!!!!!!!! Why should he start Now
Ugh. don't even get me started on Herb....I had the displeasure of meeting him when he wasn't "on the job" or campaigning.
I would not waste a second of my valuable time talking to that waste of breath. Every single time I have brought something up to this mans office I get the same sort of response, too bad I do what I want, not what you want me to do.
I'm actually from Texas, but the bf is from Wisconsin, and we are flying up there to watch the Packers in Lambeau next month. Will my PV be an issue there? Or anywhere in the state? I mean, is there a ban, do airports, motels, etc have a problem? I really want to be able to have my PV instead of cigs on this trip!
you'll be fine...nobody really gives a #*%! in wisco...lol unless you spill somebodys beer or what not...HA I've gotten alot of questions from people but never any negative comments
Unfortunately we have 2 of the worst senators in Washington supposedly representing us. I cannot believe people still vote for either of these self-righteous bags of wind.
I know I don't vote for them! it's gotta be the same people who supported George W.
that statement makes absolutely no sense...feingold-democrat, kohl-democrat, bush-republican.
