NYC Smoking Ban – Primed for E Cig Enthusiasts

New York City’s smokers have become second class citizens now, with the new ban on smoking in public parks, beaches and other public areas. Smokers are now subject to a $50 fine for lighting up in the banned public areas.

E cigs, however, offer my fellow nicotine addicts an alternative. Smokeless, e cigs will still deliver that powerful punch of nicotine somkers need, but won’t break the NYC law. Since e cigs emit only vapor, not smoke, it is lawful to charge up and puff away anywhere, including restaurants, malls, etc.

New York City, known for its many smokers, is primed to become and e cig mecca.
