I only got savvy to this story because I get front pages from the New York Daily News.<\/p>\n

The main story here is about Bill O’Reilly, but up in the corner, I noticed the front-page headline of e-cigs smoked.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, the story is e-cigarettes are now banned indoors in the state of New York.<\/a><\/p>\n

The irony here is e-cigs were initially marketed long ago as a way to get around indoor smoking bans. I fully remember the Blu e-cig ads with Stephen Dorff and Jenny McCarthy smoking e-cigs at parties and clubs. Well not in New York. And not in a growing number of places.<\/p>\n

The biggest issue with e-cigs indoors? Well, while that cloud of nicotine-laced steam might not smell and might not be irritating, it’s still got plenty of chemicals in it beside water vapour, including a potentially\u00a0large amount of formaldehyde<\/a>. (The e-cig industry has denounced these formaldeyde studies, but boy it sure sounds exactly like the cigarette companies trying to denounce the ties between smoking and lung cancer.)<\/p>\n

I’m at the point where, absolutely e-cig steam does not bother me or irritate my eyes … but that doesn’t mean I personally want to inhale it. That doesn’t mean I want that formaldehyde coming into contact with my lung cells. I’ve found myself holding my breath or turning away from people vaping indoors.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, sorry about those ads from three or four years ago, but vaping is being banned indoors. And I’m OK with that.<\/p>\n
