I agree on the vape hate, but what happens when they ban something that's important to you?

Guns, houses, plants, air, voting... I can't think of anything California hasn't infringed upon, banned or taxed to the detriment of its citizens. Except pooping in public.

I don't understand banning e-cigarettes but leaving regular cigarettes legal.

State and local taxes on cigarettes in California make a pack cost around $8. 20 smokes later and you're paying more taxes. E-cigs? Not so much.

The ironic part of the whole issue is that Juul is headquartered in SF. Now valued at $38 billion.
They really need to move somewhere else.

Either that or they know their product is bad for THEM but perfectly fine for the fly over Americans they despise. They do control what goes into their product.

I'd prefer Juul employees (and their politics) stay right where they are and step on human poop and syringes on their way to work.

I agree they should stay there and wallow in it. But it's probably impossible for a company to stay headquartered in a place where they can't have their product in the headquarters.

Everything associated with design and prototypes would be illegal. No testing there, no sample products, no marketing photos. By the time you go outside of the city limits to do all that stuff, they may as well move to save transportation expenses. And if they're moving, why not move out of CA in case they expand the ban?

Isn't that why Magpul had to move from CO? They couldn't legally have the product they designed and manufactured in the state.

The employees won't go. When medical company McKesson left San Francisco recently to move to Texas, most of the employees opted to quit rather than move. I am sure the residents of Texas were happy about that.

Let them stay in SF with their poop, syringes, politics and mystery chemical sticks.
