Nanny State Ping.
Electronic cigarettes prove that this whole social engineering experiment was not really about the secondhand smoke. Here’s the good news for Non-smoking freepers or non-freepers… You are not dying because you hung out in smoky bars for 30 years.
This is a multibillion dollar racket. Funded by tax dollars from the majillion dollar MSA settlement in 1998 and big pharmaceutical companies who are peddling worthless nicotine gums and patches.
This is not funded by $20 donations from normal people who are annoyed by smoke while dining out.
Although with state governments using all of the MSA money for other budget purposes and electronic cigarettes cutting into the Golmon patch big Pharma market… These anti-smoking groups will have to find a new source of Income to pay for the lease on their Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E350.
