Controversial Georgia law bans public vaping
Georgia passes bill banning vaping in public places; supporters say it can be a health hazard.

The Georgia State Senate has recently passed SB47, a bill that prohibits the use of electronic cigarettes in public places. Currently, the bill is awaiting Governor Brian Kemp's signature. Once signed into law, the use of electronic cigarettes will be prohibited in any smoke-free area in Georgia, as this bill treats electronic cigarettes the same as traditional cigarettes.


Supporters of the bill believe that using electronic cigarettes may pose health risks. In 2019, the Georgia Department of Public Health reported 42 cases of illnesses related to electronic cigarettes in the state, including six deaths.


Jamie Yourn, an employee of Vaping Easy, an e-cigarette store in Georgia, stated that...


A study conducted in California found that e-cigarettes do not cause air pollution, but they advocate treating e-cigarettes as equally harmful as traditional cigarettes to show respect for public health.


Some individuals believe that electronic cigarettes are their preferred tool for quitting smoking or reducing their cigarette intake, while others believe that they can alleviate anxiety.
