“Supporters of the bills say e-cigarettes may cause people to start toxic addictions and may pose unknown health risks to the public. ‘These are being touted as safer than cigarettes, but we don’t really know that,’ said Councilman James Gennaro, who co-sponsored New York City’s bill. ‘Just seeing people smoking things that look identical to cigarettes in subway cars, colleges and public libraries will tend to re-normalize the act of smoking and send the wrong message to kids.’ Local governments including Concord City and Petaluma in California, and Lee, Lenox, Stockbridge, North Attleborough, Somerset and South Hadley in Massachusetts also have similar laws, officials said.”
