San Francisco could be first US city to ban e-cigarette sales
- baggy_trough 7y agoI really cannot understand where the impetus for these horrendous nanny-state laws comes from.

- verisimilitudes 7y agoThink about it some more. As with many laws, this likely comes from a corporation trying to outlaw its competitors. As the article states, normal cigarettes will still be available. Does that seem reasonable, given the ostensible reason for this ban?
- ddingus 7y agoNot reasonable at all. This needs to fail. Harm reduction alone is reason enough.
- mailslot 7y agoCool. Now everyone can go back to cigarettes.
- romwell 7y agoThe title should be prepended with "In a huge win for the tobacco industry, ".
- CryptoPunk 7y agoSan Francisco has a significant percentage of people who completely ignore a slew of basic laws, like not doing hard drugs in public, not littering the sidewalk with used beedles, not stealing and not defecating on its streets.
- lunias 7y agoMakes sense. We should probably ban alcohol, driving, going outside when it's too hot / cold, weapons of all sorts, owning pets, ice skating, rock climbing, activities which raise the heart rate above resting, etc. Anything that has the potential for a negative outcome (no matter how isolated) has got to go. Also, don't even get me started on candy, bikes, skateboards, monkey bars; anything that kids could use, but potentially not fully understand is a risk to society. A risk we simply cannot afford when the earth's population is so concerningly low. Brb whippet break.
