Montana Law hazy concerning e-cigarettes

Besides, the artilce clearly indicates that the Montana Health officials do not consider e-cigarette usage to be a violation of the state's smokefree workplace law.

Actually, that's exactly what they would LIKE to do, and was their original interpretation of the law. It is just that they can't force business owners to enforce it for e-cigs, given the way the law is worded.

The news article posted on the first note of this thread is from December 25, 2009, which also explains why the weblink is no longer available.

It would be helpful if folks wouldn't confuse non perceptive readers by portraying old news articles as if they were recent news.

The OP has a date of 12/26/2009 on it. So it was recent news when it was posted.

Recent is relative. As far as I'm aware, the state health departments opinion of e-cigs has not changed since this article came out. They still wish that e-cigs were covered under the ban, but have to admit that they aren't.

For all intents and purposes it is still the most recent decision they have made, that I'm aware of.
