Westchester County Bans E-Cig Use Indoors

It looks like the ban of cigarettes indoors throughout Westchester County now goes for those new e-cigs as well.

According to LoHud, the ban that's been in place restricting use of cigarettes indoors at restaurants and public establishments has spread to e-cigs too. The use of these electronic versions of cigarettes has doubled since 2011 and use of normal cigarettes has dropped.

The original law went into effect in 2003 to restrict cigarettes and authorities say that just because these new e-cigs smell like bubblegum and fruit, it doesn't make them any healthier for second hand breathing.

Our friends at LoHud say that these e-cigs are still allowed to be used outside, and that the possibility to raise the age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21 could happen.

I don't care what you're smoking, it's disgusting. I don't trust these so called professionals who say e-cigs are less harmful for you. I am completely one of those smoking snobs and don't want to smell your ashtray self while I'm eating, working, or shopping.

If you want cancer go ahead, keep smoking. So gross.....
