Do ecigs cause 2nd hand smoke? I thought it was pretty harmless vapor...although it does contain nicotine.
I personally don't smoke and wouldn't care if someone was using an ecig inside, but that's just me.
Bloomberg's really cracking down on nicotine.

I don't think the production of ecigs is regulated by the fda. I heard something on the radio about that a little while ago. So... that could be of concern.
Too bad nyc gives people cancer. Not to mention they pump raw sewage in the river when it rains too much.

I get the feeling that its just something he finds personally annoying, like people texting or looking up facebook on their cell phones instead of paying attention to you. I think the whole point of e-cigs is that they're harmless and have no smoke or second hand smoke. I can't think of any logical reason anyone would want to ban them except a personal pet peeve.

ecigs are miraculous devices. hopefully this doesn't catch on. it's a great advantage over cigs, being able to use it indoors.
