Im not sure if any other state bans e cigs but thats just crazy to me...I understand banning smoking in restaurants and stores ect but parks and beaches? I just hope these bans don't spread like wild fire and hit wisconsin.
They only banned them indoors.

It's still bad, but as far as I know, you can still vape on the street and in the parks at will. (and this time of year, good luck trying to catch you, lol)
Where this really impacts is people in offices or vaping in the bathroom on a break, in bars and restaurants, in event venues like concerts and sporting events, and the subway, among many other places. They say it only applies to anywhere smoking is banned already indoors. I don't know if the brick and mortar vaping stores are now prohibited from using their products in the stores now.
Some places, I have no problems banning them - I wouldn't vape in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I wouldn't want to see anyone else doing it, but banning them at concerts and bars is just dumb.
It's a big impact in NYC, because NYC is a "go somewhere and hang out" city - most of the people I know who live there are rarely home, they're usually out somewhere doing something, inside.
