You know, because second-hand vapor is so toxic.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday voted to ban e-cigarette use at bars, nightclubs, restaurants and other public areas.

The ordinance was approved by a 14-0 vote and prohibits “vaping” at farmers’ markets, parks, recreational areas, beaches, indoor workplaces such as bars and nightclubs, outdoor dining areas and any other location tobacco smoking is restricted.

Just as cigar and hookah lounges are exceptions within tobacco smoking regulations, vaping lounges and stores will be exempted from the ban.

The approved ordinance will also restrict the sale and use of the device in smoking clubs to adults 18 and older.

City Attorney Mike Feuer and councilmembers O’Farrell, Paul Koretz, and Bernard Parks proposed the ordinance back in December in response to the surging popularity of the devices, which use battery-powered metal cartridges to simulate the effect of smoking by heating nicotine-containing liquid into vapor.
