Matthew Hamilton is reporting in the Times Union Gov. Andrew Cuomo late Mon., Oct. 23, signed into law legislation that adds e-cigarettes to the Clean Indoor Air Act, banning their use in bars, restaurants and other indoor and some outdoor areas. Under the new law, vaping will be banned in the workplace, on public transportation, indoors at all public and private colleges, and in outdoor areas where smoking is otherwise banned. The new restrictions will go into effect in 30 days. Cuomo signed another bill over the summer that banned the use of e-cigarettes on school grounds. The governor initially proposed the restrictions in his 2017 executive budget, arguing that although the products are marketed as a healthier alternative to cigarettes, in reality they also carry long-term health risks for users and others around them.
