The way I understand the proposed smoking ban is this.... ( if anyone cares)

If the ban is passed it will only be for the county, for now. The city of St. Louis will not even consider putting it on the ballot unless the county passes it first. This means that you all could still come to STL and enjoy your freedom to smoke. You would just have to change where you are staying and come into the city.

I am so used to going to non-smoking places, that I now find it odd to see ashtrays sitting out and being asked "smoking or non" when eating out in Missouri.

The number is made up by the same people who made up the 600,000 (number of jobs) the stimulus created. These numbers cannot be proven.

An e-smoke is a device, about the same size and shape of a regular cigarette, that the user fills with a fluid which contains nicotine. It also has batteries in it. The user takes a drag while pushing a button and the device vaporizes a small portion of the liquid. The vapor is inhaled, delivering the nicotine to the lungs, and the user gets the "benefit" of satisfying the addiction to nicotine without all the hundreds of other chemicals found in regular cigarette smoke.

Clear as mud, eh?

Thanks Brew that is a great explanation.
Thomas and I have been using them since May. I have not touch a real cig since then. The great thing is that I no longer have to step out side to "smoke" and because they do not burn tobacco the do not fall within the ban. Although I do not use them while in most places that I would not smoke any way most bars have been willing to let me use them. I can stay in non smoking hotel room and use them because there is not a smell left behind like tobacco. They do however take some getting use to.

Sorry to change the subject. Also since I have never attended this Jan. get-together I have to ask this question...

It's always been called Dav-CON...or now Louie-CON. It is a get together or a meet and greet. It's not a convention. OUCH puts on the convention in July. I've had many people (newbies) ask me why are there 2 conventions and I've had to explain each time.

Could we call it something else? St. Louis get together, or meet and greet or something else...

orgy, "freeze your a$$ off in January for CHer's"

Linda,

There are many distributors of these e-cigs. I ordered mine from Awsome Vapor.

Also, rather than purchacing and tossing away the cartriges, there are distributors that sell what is called e-liquid. Then you simply refill the cartriges with the fluid.

I've found this much cheaper over the last couple of months to be cheaper than regular ciggs. In fact I haven't bought a pack since. I do have an old pack in the truck that is getting stale.

From time to time, batteries and automizers need replacing. Sometimes you may want new cartriges to refill as sometimes they will crack. But all in all, it costs ~$60 a week for regular smokes. My invetment for 2 months has been $126 including an extra battery, extra automizer and 2 bottles of e-liquid. Savings of $354.

sorry for being the newbie here. But I have read all the posta and am not sure what louiecon is. Could some one explain. I would like to come and meet all you cluster heads for the first time. Just talking to some last week for the first time, I broke down like a baby. Can't imagine actually meeting someone.
