Cuomo
ALBANY â Gov. Cuomo  on Monday plans to sign into law new restrictions on electronic cigarettes that effectively ban  their  use in most restaurants  bars and workplaces  the Daily News has learned.
âThese products are marketed as a healthier alternative to cigarettes  but the reality is they also carry long-term risks to the health of users and those around them â  Cuomo  said.
 Cuomo âs decision to sign the bill had been expected.  He  proposed similar restrictions on e-cigarette use as part of  his  executive budget proposal in January.
Supporters of the measure  including the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association  had been lobbying lawmakers and  Cuomo  to approve the measure  arguing that smoke from e-cigarettes posed health risks akin to those of regular cigarettes.
In July  Gov. Cuomo signed into a law a measure that outlawed the smoking of e-cigarettes in all public and private schools.
