Lawmakers on eastern Long Island have voted to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 19.
The new Suffolk County law also restricts the use of the controversial devices in public places that already bar tobacco products.
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are battery operated devices that contain a heating element and a replaceable plastic cartridge with liquid ingredients that are vaporized and inhaled like smoke.
Manufacturers have said the devices are safe, but FDA testing of 19 e-cigarette brands found half contained a chemical known to cause cancer in humans.
Suffolk's new law, expected to take effect in about 90 days, allows adults to use the devices anywhere cigarette smoking is permitted. |
