VAPING NEWS: Congressman Vapes in Congress in Support of E-cigarettes {February 13, 2016}
Hello vaping world! This week took an interesting turn when a congressman decided to vape in congress to stress his support for e-cigarettes. Read on to find out all about it!
Vaping came to Congress on Thursday
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) blew up an otherwise quiet debate on Thursday during a congressional hearing when he decided to vape during his presentation. In rather theatrical fashion, he urged his colleagues to say no to the proposal to ban e-cigarettes on airplanes.
Vaping has helped me quit smoking and Norton’s amendment would make it tough for people with asthma inhalers or people inhaling “medicine of the future” through vaporizers to take their hits on a plane.
He said.
The committee was voting on Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton’s (D-D.C.) proposal to ban vaping on airplanes.

Washington’s Health Department Slammed For Telling ‘Lies’ About E-Cigarettes
The Department of Health for the state of Washington has come under fire for giving ‘misleading’ advice to smokers about the safety of e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes supporters were not pleased by the department’s statement that “people may be attracted to E-cigarettes because of unproven claims that they are safer and more accepted than traditional cigarettes.”
This claim is questionable, as there is no research to support the claim that e-cigarettes are as dangerous as tobacco cigarettes.
