Subject: re: Banning E -Cigs - bad idea ?'
Hi guys, just weighing in on the "ban e -cigs" movement in SLO.
I don't smoke tobacco cigs or a -cigs, so I have no "horse in this
race ". Wrote an article on the subject (below). Somehow, the anti - smoking
crowd has jumped on this for reasons only they know.
I guess I just know alot of people who are trying to quit smoking - tried
20, 30 times? Anyways, everyone who can quit tobacco, has quit. Of those
addicted still smoking, many are moving to a -cigs as a way to prevent their
premature demise. Restricting their "cure" at this time seems to be
a bad idea. So far, legitimate studies show e -cigs to be a net benefit
for those attempting to quit, and for those that have to choose between
starting to smoke e -cigs or tobacco cigs.
Please take the time and read if you have the chance.
Yes, I know my opinion is not a popular one.
Thanks for listening.
- -Tim

I have attempting to persuade the SLO city council that E -cigs prevent tobacco cigarette deaths. They are
simply looking at the wrong studies that are being trumpeted by those having something to gain by
"snuffing out" a -cigs forever. Also, I suspect that government coffers have much more to gain in the way of
tax dollars for the continuing sales of tobacco products than they do from a -cigs.
