Electronic cigarettes are the latest health device for smokers hoping to quit nicotine addiction. Earlier today a major security operation took place in Staffordshire, England, after a passenger on a coach used an electronic cigarette which was mistaken for something more sinister and a full scale security alert was instigated. The 48 passengers were later allowed to carry on with their journey.

Vapers beware: there will be no more indoor use of electronic cigarettes in Westchester County.

Lawmakers approved legislation on Monday, which expands the county’s smoking ban to include e-cigarettes and other vaping devices, according to the Journal News.

Legislator Catherine Borgia, who proposed the bill, claims manufacturers of electronic cigarettes have used marketing techniques similar to those used by tobacco companies years ago, and argues the companies are deliberately marketed toward young people.

The percentage of teens inhaling vapors created by heating liquid nicotine tripled between 2013 and 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The New York State Legislature is considering a statewide ban on indoor e-cigarette use.
