Include electronic cigarettes in city smoking regulations
In Plain English
Richmond's current smoking laws only cover traditional tobacco cigarettes. The proposed change adds e-cigarettes and vaping devices to the same rules that already restrict where people can smoke. If approved, vaping would be banned in the same public places where cigarette smoking is already prohibited.
