  1. Alfa Romeo ended up falling through but I ended up at Allen Samuels Dodge in North Richland Hills. Asked the manager about vaping inside and he said "Its ok, just keep it discreet." and he expressed his happiness that most of his employees were vaping now and that reduced down time for the sales team. Got a couple guys that got hired along with me and I am getting them on board. I think my case was helped when it snowed yesterday and all the smokers were outside freezing while I was happily vaping in my warm office!

  2. That's a relief, at least they are not taking action that is above reason or stimulated by panic. I have felt that under the 18 should be restricted as do 99.9999% of the adult Vaping community when it come to sale to minors.

    Agreed completely. It's nice to see some people thinking about this outside of OMG IT LOOKS LIKE SMOKING!!! BAN IT!!!!

  3. The only part of the ordinance that I can find that relates to ecigs is this :

     

    Section 13-139. Electronic Smoking Devices.

    An establishment that has as a primary source of business the sale, distribution, and/or on premise use of

    electronic smoking devices and related products shall not allow or employ persons under the age of eighteen

    (18) years within the establishment. This shall include, but not be limited to, vapor lounges, vapor bars, vapor

    salons, and vapor stores. Such establishments shall display signage prominently at entrances stating that

    persons under the age of eighteen (18) years are prohibited within the establishment.

    I am glad that's the extent of what's being said in the ordinance. We will see what's said in the meeting. Thank you for finding this btw. I guess I am just rubbish at finding things

  4. Not getting any information about this proposed ordinance from the folks proposing it. I know that today is MLK day but you would think that at least one person has a link to the ordinance for the general public to read. I have looked and haven't found anything. Something tells me that vaping is included in this ordinance and they don't want us to fight it. I am attending regardless to speak up if vaping is brought up.

  5. Googled "e cigs are stupid" this morning just to see what the big tobacco and big pharma folks are putting out there to stop us. I came across this... http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=96460 Reading the comments are hilarious. I am assuming since it's called "sonic youth" it's a bunch of holy high horse bible school kids that claim to be non judgemental to your face but flap their gums the second you turn around. I notice a few "I will never quit" comments in regards to smoking. Yeah, cool joe, let's see how that works out when you can't keep up with someone at a walking pace in 15 years.

  6. Local news ran another story about vaping. Again the usual nobody under 18 and they also touched on no use allowed in theaters. I can agree with that but that's another topic all together.

    I was watching this with my grandfather in the room and he asked me "So what do you have to say in defense of what you do." I kindly said "Let's just agree to disagree." He then spews at me "Yeah your just saying that because you know your wrong and you do something that is disgusting." I am trying to not to bite off my tongue right now.

  7. Alfa Romeo is owned by Fiat.

    I love the look of some of the Alfa Romeo particularly the Brera unfortunately over here they're renowned for always breaking down.

    Typical Italian car really great when they're running lol :)

    Congratulations fella and good luck.

    I did laugh a little when I realized that FIx It Again Tony owned Alfa. That being said, from what I have seen here in the states, the 500 has been a very reliable car. I know a few people who own one and they have never had to take it into the shop aside from general maintenance.

    I can only hope for the same with Alfa when they come back over here.

  8. NBC 5 in Dallas just ran a story talking about how Frisco, Texas is implementing regulations on e-cigs to stop sale to people under 18. I agree with that completely. They then stated that flavors of the juice was directly aimed at kids. To which I said was bullcrap. My grandfather (I live with my grandparents at the moment) then goes on this rant that it's all a ploy to get kids on real cigarettes. He went on to talk about how they are not known to be safe so they should all be banned until research is done. I said research won't be done if it's banned. The FDA won't waste their time researching something that isn't legal. Or at least they won't focus on it as much.

    Still looking like a couple more months till I can afford to move. How do you guys deal with living with someone that is so strongly against this?
