It Wasn't About Health!

Banning smoking tobacco was never about health. New York, Chicago and LA, bastions of progressive prejudices, have passed ordinances treating electronic cigarettes as real cigarettes banning them from the public domain. Those who smoke risk health problems but no evidence exists that e-cigs have any harmful effects on those who use them much less those in the presence of those who use them. It must be embarrassing that no evidence exists that confirms their prejudice that second hand smoke is harmful to anyone. (Please reply if you have that evidence) To counter the lack of evidence they insists repeatedly and loudly that second hand smoke is unhealthy thinking, correctly, that if they repeat this often enough the uniformed, the purposely uniformed and ignorant will buy it. Without evidence they bully their way to getting their way.
Now that technology has invented a cigarette that does not burn, does not use tobacco, does not smell and does not leave any ash they find that the very people they were attempting to dominate have a way to enjoy themselves. Can't have that! Shame on them!
