The city of Boston, Mass. has just voted to ban the use of ‘e-cigs’ because the powers that be say “it is simply “clos[ing] a loophole” by “treat[ing] e-cigarettes like tobacco products.”
So basically they are saying that anything resembling smoking, or the merest hint of smoke/ing must be banned. This is simply because the moralists, the societal perfectionists, cannot tolerate any reminder of those who enjoy smoking.
What next for Boston? A ban on bonfires, campfires & cremations?
