Michigan ban (Starting May 1st) doesn't affect the smokers of E-Cigarettes


If you smoke or ‘vape’ an electronic cigarette, you may still do it in your favorite bar or restaurant. This is what the Michigan law say:

  • E-cigarettes (or electronic cigarettes) are battery-powered devices that provide inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution.
  • Current legal analysis concludes that because e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, they are not covered under Michigan’s Smoke-Free Air Law, which takes effect May 1, 2010
  • Although e-cigarettes are not covered under Michigan’s smoke-free air law, businesses may set their own policy banning the use of e-cigarettes in their establishment. Based on the information below, we encourage businesses to consider adopting such a policy.
  • Businesses should be aware that e-cigarettes closely resemble real cigarettes. Therefore, it is possible that from a distance an individual may think that a person using an e-cigarette is smoking a real cigarette, which could trigger a complaint against a business related to the smoke-free air law
  • The e-cigarette is not a proven safe alternative to smoking and we discourage its use both for the user’s safety and the safety of the people in the same room.
  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that e-cigarettes meet the definition of a combination drug device product and therefore should be regulated by the FDA. Currently e-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA and are considered illegal.
  • etc…

So, maybe we will see places with some nice sign telling that e-smokers are welcome!

  1. great post, thanks. theres great stuff in this blog




  2. I wasted money on cigarettes for forever and quitting was literally impossible. I tried all of the quitting tricks but not one helped me stop. Then I discovered the smokeless cigarette. The e-cigarette uses a nicotine fluid that contains just nicotine. No toxic substances at all. Electric cigarettes have actually changed my life.
