4. E-Cigarette Bans - News Reports

The following contains some reference links to news reports on the banning of e-cigarettes at a local level by individual policy makers at pubs, restaurants, states, counties, villages, businesses, schools, hospitals, libraries, civic authorities etc.

Many individual policy makers are taking action at the local level and are bannng the public use of e-cigs within their jurisdiction. In general, for a number of reasons, e-cigs are being subjected to similar regulations to tobacco cigarettes, with regard to public display, use, and purchasing restrictions.

It should be noted that the lists of reports on this website will inevitably be incomplete and will represent only a fraction of the number of bans that have been reported in on-line media. Similarly, there will be an even greater number of bans that have been imposed by local policy makers and that have received no publicity or coverage at all in on-line media reports.

The reports listed below can only ever be an incomplete list but nevertheless are representative of the actions that are being taken against the public use of e-cigarettes.

Soundbites

"I don't accept that smokers are addicted to tobacco. I think they have a habit... I believe the majority of smokers could stop tomorrow - no, today - if they really wanted to."

Dr. Sandy Macara,
Chairman,
British Medical Association, 1996.

"The nicotine inhalation habit induces a psychological dependency habit similar to that of a 43 year old teenager still living at home with mum and dad...

Smokers / vapers are addicted to nicotine inhalation about as much as someone might be addicted to living at home with mum and dad - where life is made too easy for them to even think of moving out."

TSS Supporters, 2013
