		<description>This is just insane, if only our elected officials would do some research before opening their mouths this country would be in much better shape. E-Cigarettes have been studied and the results conclude that they are of a magnitude safer the cigarettes. Here is a report contrary to the senators claims.

		<description>What a joke.  They&#039;re just a bunch of clowns who obviously HAVE NOT DONE THEIR HOMEWORK.  I take from this that Gordon and Vitale are definitely getting paid off big tobacco . . . or unintentionally just admitted to their own incompetence.

5 minutes of &quot;research&quot; is enough to show anybody that big tobacco has no hand in e-cigarettes.

Even if e-cigarettes are &quot;dangerous&quot; . . i live in AMERICA, and if i can CHOOSE to willingly smoke cigarettes which is well known to KILL 400,000...400,000...400,000 a year as a DIRECT result. . . i can sure as hell choose to use an electric cigarette.

**NEXT ON THE LIST FOR NJ**
You must have a certified Smoke Attendant handle your cigarette while you smoke it.</description>

		<description>http://www.prlog.org/10491997.html

With wonderful people like Sen. Bob Gordon and Sen. Joseph Vitale running this country, we have no reason to worry, right?

&quot;“This is yet another victory for public health,” said Gordon (D-Bergen). “No matter how manufacturers attempt to market these devices, they are still cigarettes.  In many ways, they may be more dangerous than traditional cigarettes because of their lack of oversight or any conclusive studies into their health effects.”&quot;

Please tell me this is a joke. I never knew so ill informed people were put in such a place of power. </description>

		<description>This is lunacy. I hope NJ e-cigarette users sue the crap out of the state legislature. 

If they think e-cigs are even remotely dangerous, then test them, and then learn what the rest of us already know.

I&#039;m sick and tired of nanny-state legislature without even the slightest amount of study being performed on the products (or activities) being banned.

The e-cig is the first device that has allowed me to quit without harming anyone, including myself. If I couldn&#039;t use these to help me quit my addiction (I&#039;ve already dropped my e-cigarette use and nicotine content considerably since I swapped from real cigarettes), then I&#039;d sue the idiots that banned my use of it.</description>

		<description>Just to let you know I ordered my first e-cigarette. Try ed the gum, the patch, and cold turkey. And I&#039;ll stand out with all the other smokers puffing my e-cigarette. And give Senators Gordon and Vitale a good old fashioned Jersey Salute.</description>

		<description>Congratulations To R.J. Reynolds, Phillip Morris and Pfizer on this tremendous victory. It&#039;s good to see these companies interests and the state of New Jerseys tobacco tax base will enjoy continued growth under the protection of Sen. Bob Gordon and Sen. Joseph Vitale. Such sterling leadership has helped tobacco use to increase in 2009 for the first time in twenty years and I have no doubt that it will continue to do so with the assistance of men like the honorable Gordon and Vitale</description>

		<description>This is fantastic news. It is great to hear a judge with reasonable and responsible actions regarding the e cigarette, a product which has the potential to save thousands. In what appeared as though an almost guaranteed loss against the ruthless FDA we have gained a moment of prosperity. Congratulations to the lawyers over at smoking everywhere and njoy. Lets keep the momentum going!

		<description>Are there IQ tests for politicians in NY? The assumption that big tobacco is profitting from this is just plain ludicrous! Big tobacco and big Pharma are the ones fronting ASH to ban these things. Cutting into their profit margin!

I cannot believe that there are people making laws on things they obviously know nothing about! Maybe it is the opposite and their PAC money cronies are feeding them these lines so they look as if they are fighting the good fight!

Maybe they just parrot remarks like so many people &#039;I was just following orders.&quot; all the while trying to bring death to millions by forcing them to go back to big tobacco&#039;s cradle and use combustible cigarettes. What are you people thinking?

The FDA&#039;s claims are nowhere rooted in fact according to today&#039;s US Court ruling!

Propylne glycol, a known irritant? Ever hear of a song &#039;Smoke gets in your eyes?&quot; it HURTS!!! I would be more irritated by a walking ashtray, walking through plumes of combustible smoke or even strong perfume than by an odorless water vapor. There is no measurable nicotine or PG on the exhale. Afraid that people with three inches of tar coating their lungs are gonna be hurt by a little theater fog?

You guys says you are doing your best for the public health while contributing to the deaths of your constituents by walking lockstep with unfounded claims. What government!!!!</description>

		<description>Well, the FDA tried to follow Sen. Lautenberg&#039;s orders, but Judge Leon has ruled against the FDA. Electronic cigarettes are not a drug-delivery device, as FDA insisted.

Meanwhile, the passage of this law in New Jersey is a clear victory for the manufacturers of tobacco cigarettes.  Senators Gordon and Vitale deserve the tobacco industry&#039;s &quot;Prevention of Smoking Cessation&quot; award for their efforts.

Now the tobacco companies can rest a little easier because more New Jersey smokers will be sticking with their cancer sticks.  Had smokers been able to see e-cigarette users inside, snug and warm, they might have been tempted to switch.

Sooner or later, though, the word will get out that those who switch to inhaling vaporized nicotine are experiencing improved lung function and lower blood pressure and cholesterol.  Then how will Senators Gordon and Vitale explain themselves to those who continued smoking thanks to this law and developed lung disease, cardiovascular disease, or cancer?</description>
