Proposed law seeks e-cigarette ban in bars

Electronic cigarettes would be banned from restaurants, bars, and workplaces and made illegal for under-18s, under proposed laws.

Like any other tobacco product, they would also be subject to bans on advertising and sponsorship under the plan.

The proposers of the legislation, Independent senator and cancer specialist Professor John Crown and Fianna Fáil senator Aevril Power, said there were a number of health concerns around e-cigarettes.
