Default New York to outlaw electronic cigarettes ... what the heck is an elctronic cigarette?

I didn't even know that they had such a thing as an electronic cigarette ... how would you Bogart something like this?

New York: Starting next week, selling electronic cigarettes to minors in New York will be illegal. State law already prohibits selling cigars, cigarettes and chewing tobacco to those under 18 and retailers can be slapped with a $1,000 fine if they are caught.

Sen. Owen Johnson, R-Babylon, sponsored the measure and says E-cigarettes “have not been proven to be safe for use at any age.”

The battery-powered devices are used to inhale vaporized liquid nicotine instead of tobacco smoke.

They were initially marketed as a safe alternative to cigarettes but some say their candy flavors appeal to minors.

More than 200 new laws will be on the books Jan. 1 and while some may seem silly or outdated others like the approval of
same-sex marriage in Maryland have garnered national attention over the past year.
More laws will pass January 1st 2013 like it will now be illegal for your dog to chase a bear in California
