It should be up to the individual businesses if they allow it or not. Government sticks their nose in too many things that should be the choice of either the company or the individual. If a business allows vaping, it's a customers choice that they accept when they walk into the establishment knowing.
Research pro's and con's of e-cig before making a decision that affects everyone.
E- cigarettes produce far fewer carcinogens than traditional cigarettes. Traditional cigarettes contain between 4,000 and 7,000 harmful chemicals, many of which are produced by the tobacco and smoke. Since e-cigarettes use vapor technology, they expose users to fewer carcinogens.
Some studies show e-cigarettes can be effective in smoking cessation. In multiple studies and surveys, e-cigarettes have been shown to potentially help smokers to reduce their habit or to quit altogether. One New Zealand study showed e-cigarettes to be as effective as nicotine patches.
The second-hand effects are far less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Though second-hand vapor exists, the levels of smoke and second-hand effects of “vaping” are magnitudes lower than traditional smoking.
They are more socially acceptable and do not smell. E-cigarettes provide the same experience and sensation for smokers – particularly those with nicotine habits – but can be used in far more places. They do not leave a sticky, unpleasant odor and do not stain teeth or fingernails.
While the FDA has expressed interest in regulating electronic cigarettes (and other vaporizers), several legal jurisdictions have already begun cracking down on the use of these products. North Dakota, New Jersey and Utah have all restricted the use of e-cigarettes in all otherwise smoke-free venues. Ten other states have set restrictions for at least some venues. More than 150 counties across the U.S. have enacted similar restrictions.
People should become more informed before making a decision that everyone will have to live with....It's about choices.

It should never be up to the government on what goes on in a business, if it isn't bad enough to ban in the whole state whether in a business or not. If it's banned in a business, than it should be banned period. Not used anywhere in the state, not even in your own home. Must be that dangerous. Cigarettes can't be that dangerous, since it's allowed in the home even with children. Cigarettes should be banned completely if they can't be smoked in a business that is willing to allow it.

Vaaping is a very dangerous habit. You are getting toxic chemicals into your lungs plus you are polluting the air. THis is a serious situation and not a good substitute for giving up smoking. It is worse than chewing tobacco.
