Following New York’s lead, Chicago bans smoking e-cigarettes indoors
F

Chicago has become the next major U.S. city to ban the use of electronicย cigarettes within indoor public buildings like restaurants, bars, and offices. Similar to regularย smokers, people that want to useย e-cigarettes will not be allowed within 15 feet of a building entrance while smoking.ย 

E-cigarettes will join regular smokes and other tobacco products as forbidden in most indoor public places in Chicago after aldermen today passed a measure backed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to restrict where electronic cigarettes can be used and how they can be sold.ย The ordinance, which passed 45-4 after opponents took one last chance to voice their displeasure, will prohibit people from using e-cigarettes in restaurants, bars and most other indoor public places in the city. The measure also will require retailers to sell e-cigarettes from behind the counter so itโ€™s harder for minors to get their hands on them.
