Vaping products are also commonly used to help tobacco users move away from normal cigarettes. <br />One resident said the ban would force people trying to quit smoking to be exposed to the cigarettes they <br />are trying to get away from. <br />“By banning vaping products from area businesses, it forces me outside to be around the smo kers, <br />continue the health issues that I already have,” she said. <br />Those in favor of the ban said allowing it in restaurants and bars would renormalize smoking and <br />influence children to try tobacco products. <br />East Chapel Hill High School student Sophie Jin said there has been a rise in young people using e- <br />cigarettes and the ban would help solve the problem. <br />“This rule would restrict health risks in public areas and prevent our future generations to start <br />experimenting with a dangerous product,” she said. “Alt hough advertised as safe and reliable, more and <br />more research has been published that documents harmful effects.” <br />No date has been set for the next time the board will look at this issue.
