NEW YORK CITY WILL NOW TREAT ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AND NICOTINE VAPORIZERS THE SAME AS REAL CIGARETTES.

THAT MEANS NO USING E-CIGARETTES IN BARS, RESTAURANTS OR IN PUBLIC PARKS.

CHRIS JEHLY (JELLY) USED E-CIGARETTES TO KICK HIS 2 PACK A DAY HABIT AND THINKS THE CITY IS MAKING A MISTAKE.

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Jehly, Former Smoker:

"There's no need for it. This is working so much better than patches or gum or prescription drugs."

ONE OF THE LAST ACTS OF THOMAS FARLEY TENURE AS NEW YORK CITY HEALTH COMMISSIONER WAS TO START THE PROCESS OF PUTTING E-

CIGARETTES UNDER THE CITY'S SMOKE-FREE AIR ACT.

FARLEY SAYS THE CITY HAS TO GET A HANDLE ON E-CIGARETTES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Farley, former NYC Health Commissioner:

"We need to protect people until we understand them better and figure out how to use them only in ways that might help people."

THE NEW RESTRICTIONS WON'T AFFECT VAPOR CLUBS LIKE HENLEY IN NEW YORK'S SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT HENLEY CEO PETER DENHOLTZ

THINKS THE BAN HURTS SOME OF THE POTENTIAL GOOD OF E-CIGARETTES.

SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Denholtz, CEO of Henley Vaporium:

"Now one that wants to stop smoking and use vaping products has to go out and sit with the smokers and be around exactly what they are trying to get away from."

OPPONENTS OF E-CIGARETTES SAY WITH FLAVORS LIKE BUBBLE GUM AND WAFFLE, THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE

USING TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

SOUNDBITE (English) Thomas Farley, former NYC Health Commissioner:

"All of the big tobacco companies now are going into e-cigarettes in a very big way. Do you really think that RJ Reynolds, and Philip Morris and Lorillard want to help smokers quit."

THE POPULARITY OF E-CIGARETTES AND VAPING IS GROWING NOT ONLY IN NEW YORK BUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

OTHER CITIES INCLUDING CHICAGO AND LOS ANGLES ARE ALSO WREASTLING WITH HOW TO REGULATE THE BOOMING INDUSTRY.
