Where are Electronic Cigarettes Banned?

Posted on | July 26, 2010 | No Comments

While often touted as a “smoke anywhere” product regulators have been quick to ban electronic cigarettes in a number of placed.  Sans Ryanair (Way to Go Ryan) the devices are banned on most flights.

The New York State Assembly has voted overwhelmingly 125-0 to ban e-cigarettes.  The decision followed an email sent by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) to New York’s legislators seeking to correct misinformation they apparently received from marketers and others. ASH previously helped persuade New Jersey and Suffolk County, NY, to ban the use of e-cigarettes in no-smoking sections.

The FDA previously attempted to ban the import of electronic cigarette devices but the decision was overruled.

Kansas recently unveiled a policy of non-smoking but specifically excluded electronic cigarettes from their policy.  A spokesman for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office said that since no burning tobacco is involved, the ersatz cigarettes are not covered by the statewide indoor smoking ban that passed the Legislature in February.

The takeaway?
While you can generally slide the rules with an electronic cigarette, let’s not forget the general rules of courtesy.  Treat your electronic cigarette like you would a normal cigarette.  Step outside or away from your desk.  If you never create an issue about your vaping chances are there will never be a direct policy against it.
