In Response To: Should Electronic Cigarettes Be Allowed in Tournaments? (Brett Meyer)

I don't see this as being a legal problem (with regards to smoking bans). I think smoking bans are for smoking of tobacco in some form. A friend of mine had used them here in Canada, but he had mentioned that in the US they may no longer be sold because the user is still inhaling carcinogens.

I think it's a good question though. My friends experience is that non-smokers don't necessarily recognize what he is using and ends up being in a situation that has more drama than it's worth (public needs to be educated). His solution was to quit smoking for good (he found that these e-cigs did help with the transition).
