Once more, we have uninformed Government officials making decisions based on no factual data. Before we know it, there will be trucks patrolling the streets with vapor sensors and violators will be beaten then registered by Homeland Security!
As a former journalist of 20+ years, it makes my skin crawl to read someone is against vaping because of the "dangers" of second hand vapor. Here we go again.... vaping is NOT smoking. The PR person for the State is a nincompoop. They did not even provide a source for the report. It's not tobacco! Every mass spectrometer study I've seen has shown no chemical byproduct endangering the public. I guess vegetable glycerin will have to be regulated by the EPA even though it’s in million of food products.
Give me a $%#@! break.
By the way, happy holidays!

At least the government officials are acting out of ignorance and stupidity. Then there are the ECF members who agree with these bans and restrictions and view vaping as being the same as smoking. I have no idea what their excuse is.
This seems very odd to this former Okie. I am still very well satisfied with Oklahoma politicians at the national level.
I guess I should wax nostalgic about the days when you had to prove something harmful before it could be banned. Nowadays all you have to do is allege that it might not be pristine to get a ban going. #doublestandard
I have friends and family in Oklahoma. I grew up there. But, for now I am glad I live in Texas and this sort of thing isn't real common. I suppose that I should be glad that the ban is only in/on State property.
This is how it starts ..next it will be public places,parks recreation areas..etc.etc the doors been opened no closing it now.Thats 2 states now only 49 more to go.
This is going to snowball. What the hey? It seems no matter how many times we right these 'politicians' they don't give a rats ..... I want a vaping President for 2016!
Just saw this on twitter:

why does the title say banned under OK exec order, rather than on state property?? I hate clicking on threads that have false or misleading thread titles. I'm an okie and last year they shot down a bill trying to tax e-cigs. Not a bad state at all.
I just heard about this as it was posted on my wife's school website. I just finished writing Gov Fallin to inform her I won't be voting for her if she runs for reelection because of this. I think a little civil disobedience is in order.
State property includes many public locations. Like my university campus.

Mr Phil, I found a 250+ page pdf file I found on DHS website by searching tobacco which lays out the plan for Texas.
There is a current pilot ban which specifically includes e-cigarettes at Abilene State Supported Living Center which began Jan. 1, 2014. They declared the grass outside the gates on all sides of campus as their property as well.
If no one fights it and wins, the ban is most likely going to be used at all 12 facilities. From there, to all State property I am guessing.
It is coming and once they've got that accomplished unopposed, it will spread faster and farther.
