The New York City Council voted to add electronic cigarettes to the city's strict smoking ban.
Only weeks after New York became the first major city to raise the legal age for buying tobacco to 21, the City Council voted 43-8 to add electronic cigarettes to the city's Smoke-Free Air Act.

If the mayor signs the bill, which he is expected to do, smoking e-cigarettes would be prohibited at public and private venues such as beaches, parks, restaurants and office buildings after 120 days.

Three states - Utah, North Dakota and New Jersey - have already passed legislation banning e-cigarettes wherever smoking is prohibited.
