MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (KFGO AM) -- Supporters of E-cigarettes have formed a consumer-based coalition to educate Minnesotans and lawmakers about nicotine vaporizers.
Many cities have banned E-cig use and one state lawmaker wants to add them to the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.
But Matt Black with the Minnesota Vapors Advocacy Group says there are no tar or carcinogens with E-cigs, no combustion and therefore no smoke -- so no danger of second-hand smoke.
Black says the National Institutes of Health found E-cigarettes pose no health risk to the user or bystanders.
Opponents worry E-cigs will become a gateway to traditional tobacco cigarettes, particularly for younger Minnesotans.
