An anti-smoking ban(禁烟令) took effect on Jan 1, 2019 in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, stopping e-cigarett (e电子烟) use in the same place where smoking is not allowed. You have to pay a fine of up to 20,000 yuan if you break the rule. While the use of e-cigarettes is allowed in many other cities, is it necessary to do so? Let's share our readers' opinions.
Andrew (US) Smoking of all kinds should be banned. Smoking is a silent killer which not just kills the smokers but also the people around the smokers.
Li Wei (China) Not only does the e-cigarette not help smokers to give up smoking, but also it encourages young and old nonsmokers to start smoking, and finally they will smoke the real thing! And the smoke from e-cigarettes is just as bad for the health of others who do not smoke!
Edward (Canada) E-cigarette is another choice to smoking. I picked one up two years ago, and have not had a real cigarette since that day. As a matter of fact, I still have four packages of Zhonghua sitting on my shelf to remind me of that bad habit that I started over 40 years.
Wang Lei (China) E-cigarette might be better than real cigarettes, but they still are very closely related to cigarettes. E-cigarette not only causes dangerous side effects(副作用) but also harms the people around you through second-hand smoking.
Chris (US) People use e-cigarettes to give up smoking. I'm all for banning their sales to kids. Nicotine(尼古丁) is harmful, but if they're going to smoke anyway, aren't e-cigarettes better than real cigarettes?
