New York City considers restrictions on electronic cigarettes

The city council in New York is considering the same restrictions for e-cigarettes that already exist for regular cigarettes.

Today in New York, the City Council is considering whether to restrict e-cigarettes just like regular cigarettes — banning their use in offices, in restaurants, and on beaches. Supporters of e-cigs argue that goes too far. And tech critic Molly Wood might agree.
