One case in New York has the potential to bring momentum to the e-cigarette cause. There was apparently a man who was vaping form his e-cig on a subway platform. A cop came across this and decided to gave him a smoking citation. The e-cig owner did not like this decision at all. He knew that what he was doing was absolutely not smoking and also does not cause harm to others.
The New York judge who was in charge of the vaping citation case seemed to agree with the individual who was vaping. He first looked at the wording of the New York law itself. The New York smoking law states that smoking is “the burning of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other matter or substance with contains tobacco.” The thing we all know about vaping is that e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco. Taking this into consideration, the judge finally ruled that vaping does not fall under this smoking law. Hopefully more people in power will do the proper research needed to make fair judgments towards e-cigarettes.
