OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Gov. Mary Fallin has issued an executive order that bans the use of electronic cigarettes and vapor devices on state property, saying the potential long-term health effects of the products are unknown.

Liberal weenies have been so conditioned to not just dislike, but actually FEAR cigarettes, that I’ll bet if a fad erupted where people just walked around with paper tubes in their mouths, there would be an uprising against that, too.
Does this apply to my kids electronic candy cigarettes?
Translation: Fallin is an ex-smoker!
Fixed it.
Really Oklahoma? The state where every single county voted Republican in like the last 3-4 presidential elections?
And those taxes are “for the children’s health programs”.
Light Up Folks! Support Children’s Health.
Orwell would think even this was satire.
The governor can control state property.
Finally!
These are always the same problem who have absolutely no problem with making smoking of marijuana legal, although the effects are ten times worse.
Never taken a hot shower? Never walked in the fog? For that matter, never walked in the rain? Have you ever used a vaporizer when you had a cold?
Have you ever noticed when it is really cold you can see your breath, hint, that is water vapor.
It is not likely inhaling water vapor is going to cause pneumonia.
Sorry for the pun, but I just hurled! Hate bleu cheese.
Right. So the new criteria is 'unknown risks' are enough to ban stuff.
Well, THAT should help America innovate.
What an asshat.
No, Republican ...
Most of the state of Oklahoma is Republican. In fact every single county in Oklahoma went GOP in the Presidential elections, even in the two major metropolitan areas.
Gov. Mary Fallin issues ban on electronic cigarettes, vapor devices due to potential health effects———————
AND lack of high taxing ability
Makes her just as bad as doomberg.I don’t care what else she does.
They have law enforcement officers for pretty much all state buildings and they will enforce this ... or else they can easily arrest you.
I go through the scanners at the court house and there are policemen all over the place. Believe me ... people are not going to be ignoring them ... :-) ...
I don’t agree with her, but this IS on state property only...it doesn’t affect the private sector, if I read the article accurately.
Fallin needs to be educated, though. This is clearly not a threat to human life.
Give me a break, Mary.
...a nice bottle of Chateau dY'quem...
Farts have “potential health effects” too. Shall we ban them?
Well, actually the green weenies did try going after cows for exactly that.
Sorry for the pun, but I just hurled! Hate bleu cheese.
I won’t touch pate. So I understand.
Citizens of OK, RECALL HER.
Water vapor is a deadly toxin?
If I recall it wasn’t so long ago that a student got a bunch of brilliant voting class adults to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.
