Do smoking bans apply to e-cigarettes?

What the fuck does libertarian Democrat or progressive have to do with it? Other than a failed attempt at a cheap smear? Did you really think such a thing would change the minds of the clear majority of posters in this thread that agree with me and disagree with you?

I wasn't, as I'm sure you well know, speaking of the fda. I was speaking of local and state level attemps to ban them, which are almost 100 percent based on ignorance, bias, and caprice. Any so called "science based" attempt at the state or local level to ban e-cigs, is by definition arbitrary, because no science based research showing that they're harmful to others second or third hand beyond the threshold of other commonly accepted unbanned things exists.


Its just that simple.

My method is faith based? No. My method says that things get banned when a certain harm to others via second/third hand exposure exposure level is met and not before. My method says "I don't like people doing that", is not a good enough reason, so you're gonna have to put up or shut up. That's not libertarian, that's the doctrine of the free society we live in, plus or minus the arguable degree that lobbying can bypass it.

Yours says ban them first, ask questions later.
