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!
