I have downloaded all 499 pages of the FDA Deeming Regs. As it is quite a long document,, I would like to know if ANYONE can answer this:
I was at the American Legion this evening for dinner and bar bingo. A waitress came over and told my physician friend "that" was not allowed here". I kindly asked her if there was a sign specifically stating vaping is not allowed in the establishment? She said no but it wasn't allowed. I told her the Post has no reason to ask us to not vape.
As we were leaving, the angry 2nd Commander came up to us, "The waitress has told you time and time again not to vape inside this private club." I commented to the Commander that "there are no state or city regulations against vaping in public". He threatened that he would ask us to leave if we didn't stop. I told him to check with the FDA as they (the Veterans American Legion Post" are NOT above government law". He said that it was since it is a private establishment. I again told him to check with the FDA and he refused.
QUESTION: Are private establishment/clubs EXCLUDED from the regulations? I live in Arizona. There are NO State or City statutes or regulations on what vapers can or cannot do. I would like someone to show me in the Regs. where it states if exclusive, private clubs are exempt.
I'm about ready to have all 499 pages printed, bound and delivered to the Commander of the Post.
I'm really pissed bout this. Some sensible answers would be greatly appreciated. I would have sent this to Dimitri but would have to go through Busardo to do so.
Thanks for your time.
