You can vape in your home and I don't care. But if you are outside blowing it in my face, gonna be pissed about it. Also how people think it is so safe and all the candy flavors seems really dangerous for kids.

How progressive of them. First start a craze and speak about how cool vaping is and how ant-cigarettes you all are all over the city. Then, get thousands of people addicted to your new product. Finally, ban your new product outright and still leave cigarettes completely legal. This is liberal logic at its absolute finest.

Think people hate it because people blowing huge clouds and makes them look like a tit (not what I think) Plus even smokers think it's more dangerous than cigarettes. At least where I'm from anyway.

Good, I'm glad San Francisco is banning portable hand grenade cigars.

Surprised San Francisco is banning drugs. I'd expect them to start legalizing cocaine, heroin etc.

Propaganda from Big Tobacco and Uncle Sam. Big Tobacco doesn't like that it has cut into their business and Uncle Sam can't tax it so they are not getting their cut.

1. So the government can get more money, first and foremost
2. To appeal to the "free spirit" voters to get re-elected

Vaping inside is disgusting. Leaves sticky residue on surfaces, discolours paint, leaves strong nicotine odour in fixtures and furniture.

Vapers dont smell it. Nonvapers do.

And you see how correct you are

Cigs>Vapes

Cig smoke is kinda bad, but a cig lasts 3 minutes and has half the amount of smoke.

Where as #VAPENAYSHYALL assholes puff for 30 mins straight and blow out a mini volcano worth of smoke every hit
---

What a joke.

This probably has no actual impact as prohibition never does and in this case probably just leads people to neighboring counties or online and probably establishes a light black market.

Also vapers can be annoying but in reality this isn't even stopping vaping. It's attacking flavors for the sake of the children and will have a negligible impact. The tobacco free CA ads make me want to smoke.

Daddy government, I need you, I can't make my own choices!!!!!

The feds would swoop in and stop that shit real fast. They still have full impunity to come in and dismantle legal weed shops if they want.

*roll eyes*
unless if you're implying that the vape ban will boost cigarette consumption, and that will kill more people.
---

First they came for the vaping, and I said nothing, because I do not vape.
---

Weird. San Francisco actually got something right!

Big Tobacco have a huge hand in vapes, they produce both vapes and cigarettes now.

Good luck getting Antifa dorks to stop vaping.

Idk if youve been around someone who is vaping but it is LOUD. Each time they hit the vape its a loud sucking noise and its annoying. Id rather be around a cigarette smoker.

Uh, what? Why can't the government tax it?

Wow, for the first time, I agree with this user. Vaping is for naive hipsters that really don't believe that it can't cause cancer.

Can ya'll fuck off with the "they're banning the flavors cuz of da kids".

We have candy flavored alcohol
Candy flavored sex toys, condoms, etc
Plenty of things that are advertised as being "cool" or having sweet flavors does not mean it's marketed to kids or that kids will be able to buy them.

ID people like you do with alcohol, cigarettes, porn etc.

Honestly I think the whole thing is stupid anyways. Who cares if you smoke out of a vape pen, a swisher, a bong, a coke can, it's still smoke. Just have the decency to smoke outside and away from people who don't want to breathe that shit in.

It's not liberal logic, it's capitalism in action.

Back to chaw, I guess...

Dude what are you on? Since when did San Francisco start or invent vaping?

Not only that but SF is one of the few places where smoking rates were rising and they are fairly cigarette friendly at least compared to other cities and venues I've been to.

What's the bet that in a few days, we see a study along the lines of "Link discovered between vaping and not being a liberal" and suddenly this makes sense?
