I can't speak for your neck of the woods, but in mine it's the liberal-left(liberal party of ontario), who are pushing the "ecigs are just as bad as cigs
The left sought to overthrow the morality of the Church, only to impose their own morality that's become even more repressive and authoritarian than the Church ever was.
I think at least a good part of that is caused by the most visible and obnoxious subset of e-cig users: the cloud chasers.
Yep, there is a HUGE difference between the moderate vapers, many of whom use it as an alternative to smoking, and the hipster cloud-chaser douchebags who feel the need to compete over who can blow the most obnoxiously huge clouds. Sadly, it's the latter who are most visible and most associated with vaping, though they're FAR outnumbered by the less-visible former.
There's a certain kind of mentality that drives some people to see vaping as just another form of smoking, which they also consider to be evil. It's why we see these attempts at laws, particularly under the "think of the children" banner.
EXACTLY! The AMA/medical profession has, over the centuries, adopted a very quasi-religious tone. To them smoking is a sin, and the only acceptable way to quit a sin is cold turkey. Telling a doctor or health nut that you've quit smoking by vaping instead is like telling a priest that you've quit cheating on your wife by watching porn instead. Their response is "No! You must quit COMPLETELY!"
I can tell you from relatives who've quit smoking, thanks to vaping, that this does work. And they all say that it's made them healthier too. No more late-night coughing fits and coughing up phlegm. And they sure as hell smell better for it.
Do you seriously think MLK was a failure because some nut killed him in the end? Do you realized how much he accomplished in the 15 years before he got killed? And his opponents at the time were super-violent. Yet he still beat them again and again without any violence.
You antifa kids are the world's biggest pussies by comparison. You dumb fucks aren't even worthy of saying his name. You have to resort to violence because you're too clueless to win so much as a game of checkers without it.
One of the great thing about our country is that they are allowed to voice their opinion
Yeah, tell that to Trump supporters in Portland. These days, being a Republican in a blue state can cost your your job, your friends, your property, your personal safety, even your life if you're not careful. It's part of what has driven me and many others away from the modern left.
But by the time the summary explained an RPG to me by backing up and explaining D&D and experience points, I knew we were doomed.
The article was written for the New Yorker, so of course they had to explain it. Their target audience is way too busy smelling their own farts to ever play a videogame.
Because if your country has a high percentage of the populace who "have given up looking for work", it doesn't really matter what the official unemployment statistic says. The only number that really matters is the number of people who would work if they could find a job. And the official unemployment stat has fuck-all to do with that number.
They have authentic Chinese cuisine and the most delightful people. Totally undiscovered too. There is a tattoo parlor run by authentic locals that offers a free jar of mustache wax with every tattoo!
And I love how the summary cites 70mm presentations as the redeeming quality of theaters, when the vast majority of theaters can't even play 70mm films. Shit, most theaters have gone digital and most can only play movies in 2K resolution. I don't think I've even seen a 70mm projector since my last visit to one of the very few *REAL* Imax theaters in the country (not that shit passing itself off as "Imax" today, I mean the real 70mm gigantic screen kind).

I'm pretty sure that 99.999% of people who've ever tried to grab a cop's gun couldn't even spell "hacking."
Expect a lot of pro-Apple articles in the future.
It's seems like an eternity ago.
Not to mention the nasty stuff that's off-gassed from all the polymers we've chosen to surround ourselves with every day.
Living is bad for your health. It is, in fact, ultimately fatal.

Never let perfect become the enemy of good.
You know he dies at the end, right?

Just remember that coups usually end with a lot of people getting hung. And not the good kind of hung either.
Maybe they were protesting against windows.
Worked for this guy.

I planted a Dick Tree in my backyard when I was a kid. The results were disappointing.
Does Avast have Vladamir Putin on a horse backing them up?
Yeah, I didn't THINK so!
Is KGB approved. You trust!
Why is it a lie this time?

Because I've heard it's the thickness of the AI stick that counts, not the length.
I've got some old postage-stamp sized videos to watch, dammit!
Yours is a post of extraordinary magnitude. You have our gratitude!
Mod me down all you like, foolish dreamers. It ain't gonna get you any closer to Mars.
Hey, if Musk could figure out how to get a rocket to Mars by 2020, he can do anything!
