Backers say they hope the legislation will curb underage use of e-cigarettes, but critics say the ban will make it harder for adults to purchase an alternative to regular cigarettes.
San Francisco is a city that celebrates its marijuana culture, but it appears deeply opposed to other vices. Last year, voters approved a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco and in 2016, a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks.The company is working on a ballot initiative that would regulate but not ban e-cigarette sales.
Walmart should ban them to! The Walmart in Georgia let them smoke in the store and it makes me sick when they blow a big old puff in your face! Smoking is what ever! But they should not do it in a store around kids and old people! Shame on Walmart!
Yeah, a much safer alternative to cigarettes that actually make it easy to quit smoking, can't let the public have that! Got to ban those things........
I'm sure the thousands of homeless people there will sleep better at night knowing this.
You can poop in the street, set up a disease tent to live on the street, get free heroin needles, but damn those vapes. Looks like good old fashioned smoking will work.
But it’s still legal to crap on the streets!!!
But you can get needles and pot?
So they are also banning cigarettes and alcohol I'd also add drugs but seems they already destroyed their minds with them.
Um why not regular cigarettes
WTG San Fran!
But needles are still free. 4 million a year
Good thing they have their priorities in order. When will they clean io the sidewalks that are not littered w2kth electronic cigarettes
Big deal they will still get them
Bums shitting in the streets of San fransicko, .council concerned about health risks with vaping... you can't make this shit up.
Yup. Let’s not worry about the problem with the rampant numbers of homeless people they have or the needles in the streets, E-cigarettes are the real cause of all of S.F. woes. (Sic)
Cigarettes too Lol, yeah right.
Only out in Frisco buddy
Draws attention to the medical concerns of Vaping, but this will not curtail its use. Easy enough to drive outside of small SF area, or online purchases. Just a tiny bit more inconvenient is all.
This is going to make it even harder to avoid the smell of the feces-caked streets of San Francisco.
I dont smoke, but I am against government over regulating our daily lives.
What's the point? People can just buy the online right?
But ok to shoot up and shit in the street. Makes perfect sense.
It's a good practice !
Lame
But you can 💩 on the streets
Electronic cigarettes are banned, but turds on the sidewalk is ok
It's stil ok to shit in the street
I don't understand this! They pass the law for Marijuana sales and now band E-Cig sales! What's up with that? They both can F*** you up!
But don’t worry you can still crap on the streets while injecting heroin. All good there
Yet they still sell standard cigarettes.
Good for them
But regular cigarettes are still available. Makes sense
Weed, massive homelessness and pooping on the streets okay but e-cigarettes is a bridge to far? poopcity
Wonder how much 'big tobacco' paid to make this happen
It’s good to see how engaged the Liberal Nuts are about something more important than typhus and other diseases running rampant in the city!
I’d be more worried about bubonic plague.
Focused on all the wrong things......
But regular cigarettes are fine This is lunacy. Teenage ecig usage needs to be controlled, but smoked tobacco is the most dangerous drug available in the US and is the underlying cause of every fifth death according to CDC. This will force adult addicts back to smoking...
E-cigs are among the least of SF’S problems.
That will help keep the shit and needles off the sidewalks.
But let the shit hit the Fran.....
The true fascists always accuse others of being fascists. “liberal” is an oxymoron
Business opportunity 🤔
This is a city that allows people to use the restroom on their streets, use free needles for illegal drugs, and is a sanctuary for people who break federal laws, but don’t you dare smoke an electronic cigarette. 🤣 Liberalism is a disease.
Why?
Liberal policies lead to tighter control by the crazy few and eventual breakdown of Law and Order ~ sad the man as he drank his last beer.
I bet San Francisco wishes it wasn't a DEMS garbage dump.
Lobbyists.
Love it that San Francisco is one of the highest rated trigger words sure to incite conservative froth.
What? Why?
Free heroin needles though.
San Francisco, HAS FINALLY DONE SOMETHING RIGHT !!!
As long as the needles and feces are still free 👍🏼
But not cigarettes ? Of course not big Tobacco Companies pay your bills
Come on over to Oakland. We got plenty!
Electronic cigarettes give you the nicotine, but Not the smoke which is harmful to your lungs. Why are they banning it?
Yes let's go back to smoking real cigarettes.
Over under on remaining an absolut sh!thole?
Illegals get the leftover stash for free!
Popcorn Lung
You can sh*t in the streets, throw your needles wherever you desire, but don’t you DARE mess with those hipster cigarettes, says somebody in power over there. smartpower
Well, that's one way to get people to go back to smoking cigarettes.
Makes me want to drive a truckload there and give them away.
I bet Big Med has its hands all over that decision. There is no money in stopping people for getting sick from real cigarettes. Asthma, allergies, COPD... all are big money makers for hospitals, doctors, nursing homes and pharmacies!
Legal weed, illegal vapes. Hokay
If you want people to quit smoking, you can NOT ban electric cigarettes. Either or.
Did They Ban the Real Cigarettes too?
But are they going to do something about the homeless drug addicts pooping in the street?
And yet they have tons of homeless and let them defecate in the streets. But you oh no we can't allow vaping lmfao. Way to have your priorities straight San Fran hahaha. Dumbasses
