Anti-Smoking Activists Target e-Cigs
Item: Sales of e-cigs to minors targeted /Maureen Dolan, Coeur d’Alene Press
More Info: Area anti-smoking advocates want to keep electronic cigarettes out of the hands of children, and they’ve asked local cities for help. Natalie Forsyth, working on behalf of the American Lung Association of Idaho and STAND (Support Teens Against Nicotine Dependency), has requested that the city of Coeur d’Alene create and enforce an ordinance prohibiting the sale of electronic cigarettes and their nicotine components to minors. Use and possession of electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes, by minors would be outlawed as well.
Question: Is it a good use of police time to target under-age nicotine use?
