Health district urges e-cigarette restrictions
The sale of electronic cigarettes to minors should be banned, according to a resolution from the Spokane Regional Health District.
The devices are designed as cigarette look-alikes, though they deliver nicotine in the form of a vapor rather than burning tobacco.
Electronic cigarettes are marketed as a smoking cessation tool. But health officials are wary of the claims and the safety of the liquid chemicals that are inhaled as vapor.
The health district’s resolution calls for county officials to outlaw the sale of the devices and component parts to minors. The resolution also seeks to limit the marketing of electronic cigarettes to minors. It’s the first of its kind in the country, according to the health district.

Are you retarded? They ARE illegal to sell to minors. Look it up before posting crap. If a kid does have one, blame his parents, his older siblings or older friends (how do teenaers under 18 get cigarettes? C’mon people) And the ingredients (only 5 of them) are already in cigarettes (have they banned cigarettes yet? No!) and real cigarettes have 4000 ingredients. It’s healthiER than smoking, it makes no claims otherwise. Educate yourselves on whats in cigarettes and explain to me why they haven’t been banned. It’s pretty easy to figure out!
