Laws in New York and Chicago making electronic cigarettes subject to the same regulations as tobacco are taking effect, and their sellers and users are steadfast in their opposition.

Take it up with your Overlords, sissy-pants!

Filtered pole smoking in aisle two ONLY approved by the FERAL Government
Besides Big Government and Big Tobacco, the e-cig people also P.O. Big Pharma. It’s a much better smoking cessation tool than most of what they’re hawking at very high prices.

It took me a looooong time to quit smoking and E-cigs are the only thing that worked for me.
