What planet are we on right now? - 5150:)

On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider approving an ordinance that would ban smoking inside apartments, condominiums and other multiple-housing units. Health officials contend cigarette smoke can creep through floors, walls and air systems, exposing other residents to its dangers.

Electronic cigarettes would be treated the same way, under the proposed ordinance. And like regular cigarettes, they also would be prohibited in public workplaces.

According to a memo by county supervisors Carole Groom and Adrienne Tissier, who are pushing the anti-smoking legislation, unnamed scientific studies show that electronic smoking devices emit nicotine in released vapor, as well as other harmful elements such as lead.

Medical ***would be exempted.
