New York and many cities are banning the public use of e-cigs. London has banned them on all of its transportation facilities. Is it justified or too cautious? The Epoch Times takes a look at the bans.
London and New York City are two of the largest metropolises to crack down on the vaping in public places. London banned E-cigarettes on most forms of public transportation. This includes trains, buses, and subways where you can no longer smoke or a fine is imposed on the offender. The ban states that this is happening to protect the safety of the other passengers onboard.The New York City council at the end of 2013 voted to ban the use of E-cigarettes in all the places that smoking tobacco is restricted. This is everywhere except private residences and some outdoor venues, parks are not included in this ban though. Some members of the council think that the E-cigarettes looking like real cigarettes will confuse children and undermine the antismoking campaigns. They also base their argument that smoking is bad for the health but took no real steps to look at the facts.
