Novasteve Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 http://my.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-78884859/ More liberal tolerance. Not bigotry when libs ban things they don't approve of. Soon most cities Abd states will do the same because it's okay to hate smokers even if they aren't smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spydre Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 First, it's not a conservative or liberal thing, it's a lack of knowledge, HOWEVER, it's keeping the policy in line with the smoking policy - again, I find it's from lack of knowledge as much as anything else. Conservative cities are doing it as well, as it's being lumped with smoking. I just take it for granted that I can't vape where I can't smoke, although there is no law against it (it's up to the business owner here, bars and restaurants), except for all the bars in the area allow it, and some other businesses specifically state they are vape friendly.

Novasteve Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 The only conservative place they ban stuff is Utah, and that's because Mormons are anti smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahhighness Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 i live about an hour from chicago and yesterday i belive i got an email from mbv telling me they were going to have a city council meeting on this and that us vapers in that district need to show up and speak up. well im not from that area like i said but i bet there are tons of vapers in chicago being that a pack of ciggs runs close to 13.00 bucks there. too bad they passed that bill. so if this happens in your area petion the hell outta of it and spread the knowledge on vaping. because to the reguler person its still smoking.

ThatCarGuyDFW Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Calling senators and the Dallas mayor tomorrow. Noticed a lot of comments on facebook about how they are glad it isn't their city. Getting tired of people sitting back and watching the rest of the country lose their rights to vape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It's a sad day in Chicago, This is just foolish and shows how much ignorance rules our governments. This "It looks like smoking so ban it" crap in nonsense. It makes as much sense as banning nose picking because it looks like your doing cocaine. My kids want me to Vape because they don't want their Dad to die from smoking cigarettes. Fine example of the government turning a blind eye to research that has been done so they push forward a ignorant agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To what extent are we going to keep giving money to Big Tobacco and closing any real way for people to make the break from tobacco products? No, instead we are using children to fight for Big Tobacco.

tornadochaser Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I do not live in the city of chicago, close but not chicago, however the one bar i go to in the city told me they dont care if i dont mind risking a ticket. since technically i am not even an illinois resident, since i kept my wisconsin address i would like to see the chicago cops try to enforce any chicago ordinance on me. try to collect a fine, since i technically live out of state they would have a really hard time enforcing anything.

Joshuab3687 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 @tornadochaser, While I agree that the bans on e cigs are ludicrous at best, please remember that we want to improve our image and stance on vaping in the world. If you practice obstinance, others will practice willful ignorance and that hurts our cause. When you alienate others, especially law enforcement, it puts others on edge. When they're on edge they are far less likely to listen to established facts and/or listen with a sympathetic ear. Please, practice safe and responsible vaping behaviour. Just my humble opinion.

tornadochaser Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 most cops if they do not think you are a threat, which is not that often anymore, will usually listen to what you have to say and usually will go along with you if they do not have a huge amount of complaints. i was in that bar the other night someone called cpd and the cop acted like a decent human and we had a nice discussion.... he basically said enjoy yourself and be safe. course i had my truck with and he saw what i do for work and knows we are in a way a first responder as well when we are out chasing tornadoes.
