I quit smoking completely with e-cigs after smoking 1-2 packs of regular cigarettes a day for 14 years. No doubt the tobacco industry is paying off politicians big time to get them banned and many suckers will follow them. At least I was able to quit in time, I feel sorry for those who won't have the same opportunity as I did once the tobacco industry successfully bans them. With the amount of money involved, it's only a matter of time before they are able to mount a campaign against to convince the public they need to be banned one way or another.

I agree Ed. The same bone headed logic as those in Washington who are trying to convince us that Obamacare is good.

I'd like to ask Sen. Ed Meyer where has the money gone that Connecticut won from the tobacco settlement? Wasn't that money supposed to help smokers kick the "addiction"? That is what it is after all, not a habit. I'm a smoker and would love to stop, but it's the hardest thing I've ever attempted to do. Where's the help we were promised by all the litigation? The only help I've seen the state offer is higher taxes, making people pay more to feed the addiction. Sounds like the same plan street level dealers use on their heroin and cocain customers. If E cigarettes help smokers stop using tobacco, WHATS THE PROBLEM ED?
