I'm sure are ecstatic.

There's absolutely zero evidence this outbreak of sickness has ANYTHING TO DO WITH E-CIGARETTES i.e. vaping of nicotine purchased from reputable retail vendors.

NONE WHATSOEVER.

This move is just going to put 1000's of mom and pop shops and small businesses OUT OF BUSINESS with this move. For NO GOOD REASON.

Imagine if kids were rolling up some unknown substance into rolling papers and smoking it up ... and ending up deathly sick ... and the Governor said 'we must ban all smoking materials in the state, including Marlboros, cigars and pipe tobacco' ... because the method of administration (smoking) is the same as the one making people sick!'

IOW, this is friggin' STUPID.
