Ya, I know the feeling! Same here!

He banned my Djarum's (flavored cigarette's) with the blink of an eye pretty much, now I'm wonderin if E Cigs will be next?

Yeah, cloves are banned here as well... *glances over at his "keepsake" half-smoked black* Of course, I do have to agree with that banning from a certain standpoint. Since I'm currently doing the full-time college thing at my local CC, I see a lot of the "kids" (including some real ones, blasted early college...) smoking, and going off about how "cool" they think it is (not much different from when I was that age, honestly). And many of them do favor cloves and/or other implied "non-tobacco" smoking products, believing they aren't as bad as straight cigarettes. Of course, most of them also drink as well, but we don't see alcohol being banned outright. Ah, the way double-standards cut.

Keep e-cigs off his radar as much as possible. Doesn't matter how much these things cost to politicians they can afford anything and we'll be seen as an untapped source of revenue. Our government can't stand the thought of a dollar out there untouched by them!

Someone has already sent Obama a starter kit. I don't remember her name, but she has a tv show. Someone posted the video here somewhere, but I can't find it.

An ecig kit was sent to Obama on his birthday by talk show host Wendy Williams (whoever she is).

Hmmmmm,...exploding E cig.......

several vip's who switched over also tried to convince him to try one and have sent them to him. So far, he's not interested. He's trying cold turkey... which explains his .... hmmmm..... impatience shall we say.

If you could actually get the secret service to allow the president to accept an electronic cigarette, I'd send him kits monthly no charge.

The problem is, getting once of the most powerful political figures to accept a gift from some random business. They send an arsenal of 30+ vehicles just when the guy wants a hot dog from Costco lol.

their polish dogs can be pretty darn dangerous though

LOL, actually, they don't. I know this because when he came through Asheville for vacation earlier this year, he stopped (no planning) at a restraunt downtown he'd been to during the campaign. There is no physical way to fit 30+ vehicles in that part of town, and still allow trafic through (which they did, since this was less than 1/10th mile from UNCA) :P

But yeah, I'd hate to see how much heat would be on a person for sending ANY package that didn't contain a tie (hell, even probably for a tie) to him.
