E-cigarettes in smoke-free areas: The Heart Foundation NSW and 22 prominent health organisations are renewing their call for the NSW Parliament to ban the use of e-cigarettes in smoke-free areas. NSW remains one of the last states in Australia to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in smokefree public spaces. A new report prepared for the Unites States’ Food and Drug Administration on Public Health Consequences of e-cigarettes has assessed that there is conclusive evidence that e-cigarette use increases airborne concentrations of particulate matter in indoor environments and puts children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with cardio respiratory diseases at particular risk.
