San Francisco has banned vaping

[tipsyturtle]

This was on the news this morning...

"San Francisco has become the first US city to ban sales of e-cigarettes until their health effects are clearer.

Officials on Tuesday voted to ban stores selling the vaporisers and made it illegal for online retailers to deliver to addresses in the city."

It is funny that cigarettes (of which the health effects ARE pretty clear) are not affected.

E-cigarettes: How safe are they? www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-48770808

More positive than negative for a change.

A city primarily famous now for having streets covered in human faeces and dirty needles, i think ecigs are the least of the possible health hazards in San Francisco.

Shameful foolish legislation in a city which is

OK with cannabis OK with tobacco
but now not OK with vaping

Won't be going there on holiday then..

just as Einstein said : 2 things are infinite : the universe and human stupidity - he was not so sure about the universe

anybody who allows smoking but bans vaping is infinitely stupid or corrupt or both

it dont make any kind of sense untill you think about the money they are losing? cigs are deffo bad but e cigs are not and may prove to be one hundred percent safer

Ludicrous!!!

It's not stupidity. Follow the money. That said. I find it hard to get worked up about it. It's the USA, up to the American people to sort it out.

It's California the lunatics long ago took over that asylum and the amount of ridiculous laws has spewed forth ever since.
