E-Cigarettes Could Soon be <br />Banned in San Francisco Should a vote pass next week, the <br />California city would be the <br />first in the U.S. to enact <br />such a measure. According to NBC News, the legislation blames e-cigarettes <br />for the rise of "youth vaping." In a recent report, the CDC said nearly five million <br />students in middle and high school vaped last year. In 2017, the number <br />was 3.6 million. CDC's Robert R. Redfield, via statement NBC adds that city supervisors are planning to help out small businesses affected by the ban. Those who oppose it include Juul, who says the ban will leave cigarettes as the only option for adults. Juul spokesman <br />Ted Kwong, via NBC
