Are electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or chewing tobacco allowed?
Yes. The law only prohibits smoking indoors. Any cigarette-like device or tobacco product that is not lit does not meet the definition of smoking, so their use is allowed indoors. Businesses have the authority, however, to prohibit the use of these products within their business. It may be in the best interest of a business (especially bars) to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes because their appearance is so similar to conventional cigarettes that there could be confusion by the public about whether or not the bar is in compliance with the law.
