The thing people don’t realize is this. E-cigarettes cut into the tax revenue regular cigarettes generate. Of course SF wants to ban e-cigs as it cuts into the tax generated from cigarettes. Someone pointed this out to me. Part of the settlement with big tobacco was big tobacco had to run ads to get people to stop smoking, and to allow states and cities to tax tobacco as warranted. It’s free money for cities and states. If you think they would genuinely ever ban cigarettes you’re gravely mistaken.
