Italian consumer association Codacons criticised the new law as ‘utterly insufficient’. ‘E-cigarettes should be banned in all public places, just like normal cigarettes. It’s not clear why the ministry believes they are dangerous, and therefore should be banned in schools, but not in other places open to the public,’ Codacons president Carlo Rienzi said.”
