The reason is that it looks like smoking. They can’t allow anyone to do what looks like something they hate.

E-cigs are a threat to tax revenue.

Follow the money...

"little is known about the risks associated with smoking them,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx, said in a statement. “E-cigarettes are currently unregulated, putting New Yorkers at risk."

Pot’s OK, but no nicotine.

Look up the health BENEFITS of nicotine and everything will become clear.

That’s dumb, but not surprising. The Pot People have a better lobbying group behind them, complete with folklore and ginormously awesome epiphanies.

This ban is immoral when you look at the huge health and economic benefits of quitting smoking.

I can’t see any rational justification

And Chantix is supported by 0bama care.

If I were a smoker and wanted to quit smoking I would chose another brand, not this one

Smoking pot indoors is legal in NY?
