Crystal Lake Considers E-Cigarette Ban

Crystal Lake officials are considering a ban on e-cigarettes that some business owners say would be detrimental to those attempting to break the habit of smoking, the Northwest Herald reports.

Crystal Lake is looking at banning e-cigarettes in public spaces and work places, including the shops that sell the devices, according to the newspaper. Shop owners told Crystal Lake officials this would prevent potential e-cigarette buyers from testing out their products in the store.
