CAPITOL NY bill would ban ‘e-cigarettes’ pending federal health approval BY MICHAEL GORMLEY The Associated Press
New York lawmakers on Tuesday advanced a bill that would make the state the first to ban electronic cigarettes, devices touted on the Internet in ads promising all the pleasures of smoking without the deadly health threat. Health officials say e-cigarettes are just another addictive habit, one that can hook kids early and legally on smoking. But advocates who have used the devices to quit or cut down smoking tobacco call the battery-operated smokes a miracle. “E-cigarettes are for some people a tool for enabling them to continue their nicotine addictions when they are someplace where they can’t smoke,” said Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried, whose panel passed the bill Tuesday. “I don’t think that’s good for public health.” The Manhattan Democrat said the manufacturers should prove to the federal Food and Drug Administration that e-cigarettes are an effective smoking cessation aid in order to sell them to adults. Advocates — who say there is a nationwide grass-roots movement to keep e-cigarettes available — say the proof is in their health. .................>>>>.....................>>>>..................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01104&AppName=1
Of course they want to ban them, if these E-cigarettes work they will lose revenue from taxes on the real deal tobacco products. Every time they raised taxes on tobacco it was in the name of helping people quit, now that a product comes along which may help people do just that they attempt to ban it, follow the money.
