Hunter, “a vocal supporter of e-cigarettes,” practices what he preaches.

Melanie Zanona writes in The Hill that Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) had proposed an amendment to ban e-cigarettes on flights by changing the definition of smoking to include “a device that delivers nicotine to a user of the device in the form of a vapor that is inhaled to simulate the experience of smoking.”

Hunter then produced two e-cigarettes to demonstrate that there’s no appreciable difference between those that deliver nicotine and those that do not.

Some had problems with a congressman vaping during a committee meeting, while others criticized Hunter’s technique.
