Deerfield Considers Banning Electronic Cigarettes in Public

Deerfield’s Village Board heard recently from police officials about a new danger of electronic cigarettes: teens can use them to smoke the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, according to an article in TribLocal.

In part because of that concern, the board is considering banning e-cigarettes in public places, the article says. It would do this by adding language about e-cigarettes to existing ordinances banning smoking in public places and the sale of tobacco products to minors.
