Minneapolis may soon equate vaping with smoking.
Ward 2 City Councilman Cam Gordon has plans to introduce an amendment to the citywide smoking ban code on Friday. This would essentially classify the use of e-cigarettes as smoking, banning them in places like restaurants and bars.
Gordon and health experts say the change would be in line with other local tobacco bans and would prevent young people from developing nicotine addictions.
