Mayor Michael Bloomberg signs ban on e-cigarettes; What's next?

Outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed 22 bills today, one of which bans the use of e-cigarettes anywhere smoking is prohibited.

@EmilyMiller If he can ban things that emit water vapor I guess teakettles and human beings are next.

@EmilyMiller No. Next will be bubble gum cigarettes. http://t.co/LJePlXY9AJ

Although some say they use e-cigarettes to help them kick the real thing, Bloomberg has said the electronic cigarette “works about as well as patches, which is to say it really doesn’t work.”

@redsteeze @nycjim @MikeBloomberg Oh thank god! All that water vapor could have prevented me from lighting up my cigars.

Thanks Bloomy.

But seriously, what comes next?

@EmilyMiller @amandacarpenter That's nothing compared to what awaits NYC when Comrade de Blasio begins his reign of progressive terror.
