Every week we seem to be telling you about politicians who are determined to clamp down on the e-cigarette industry . They do so without fully researching the subject and realizing the damage their actions will cause. However, in Spring Lake Park in Minnesota there seems to be a different story happening. They are amending their tobacco ordinance and this usually means bad news for the e-cigarette industry. It's become common place that such actions will lead to sanctions already placed on the more deadly tobacco cigarettes being extended to e-cigarettes . But not in Spring Lake Park it seems.





Their amendment will clarify existing rules and make it clear that e-cigarettes are allowed. We have to thank city councilman Bob Nelson because, unlike a lot of policiticians who just jump on the anti e-cigarette bandwagon, he knows a great deal about the product. In fact he has a lot to thank e-cigarettes for because they helped have never started smoking cigarettes," city councilman Bob Nelson said. Nelson was a long-term smoker but then he turned to e-cigarettes and says using them has reduced his smoking from a pack a day to a pack a week. "I'm just hoping that by doing this, it's used the right way, and it gives people the tools to get off them damn cigarettes," he said.
