Conservative activist Howard Houchen and others angered by Governor Fallin’s ban on e-cigarettes plan a rally on the Capitol steps on January 1st.
Here’s Houchen’s announcement on Facebook:
“Bring your Cigars, Cigarettes, Pipes, E-Cigs, Snuff and Chew for a good ole time of of much needed, peaceful, Civil Disobedience. Even if you do none of these but feel state gov’t is encroaching on the civil liberties of individual, especially with the Executive Order issued by Gov. Mary Fallin BANNING E-Cigarettes and vaping devices on state property — this DOES include State Parks and ALL state property. Then join us at 1:00pm on New Years Day at the Oklahoma State Capitol — South Steps. This will not take a great deal of time.
By-the-way: This is NOT an encouragement to take up smoking!!!
Remember how well prohibition of alcohol worked. See you on the 1st. Maybe, I’ll bring some champagne.
Great idea! Some vendors can bring some cheapo ecigs with 0 nicotine for the folks who just want to make some noise!

An “Executive Order” from our Governor, right out of the Obama playbook. Disappointing, to say the least.
It sure is, Sam; hard to tell which end is up these days.
