Cantabria not limit "for the moment" the use of the electronic cigarette

Cantabria not follow in the footsteps of Catalonia , Andalusia and Valencia, who have expressed their firm intention to limit the use of the electronic cigarette , following the guidelines of the smoking ban , while determining whether this electronic device so fashionable carries some risk health or , conversely , it is also safe in the long term .
The Ministry of Health Cantabrian " no plans yet to launch any specific rules' to control its use in enclosed public spaces , as other communities pose , but prefers to wait for the Ministry of Health to take a decision pursuant state , which will depend on the study commissioned a group of experts. Their findings will reveal if vapor cigarettes can be harmful, one end manufacturers flatly refuse . This alternative smoking cessation began to succeed following the tightening of smoking ban in 2011 , and its use has skyrocketed in recent months.
Pioneers in regulation
While most communities share the position of Cantabria , there are at least three that are not willing to extend the wait and prefer to take matters into appealing for caution .

To do this , submit a proposal of the Catalan government to Parliament to discuss law for these devices that vaporize a mixture of nicotine, propylene glycol and other chemicals . The aim is that where you can not smoke can not ' vaping ' . Also Andalucía ( PSOE) has decided to act on his own and has ordered a comprehensive study on the composition of these products and their potential impact on health. And while the legal vacuum persists and doubts , several health groups in Andalusia have positioned against this device, already banned in homes and private clinics. The Valencian Generalitat (PP ) , meanwhile , said that if the Ministry does not articulate a basic rule that covers all regions " within a short period of time" will choose to regulate the use , even prophylactically ' avoiding the possibility that indeed the end it is shown that it can be harmful . " Castilla y León, which does not provide limit the use of these devices, itself revealed that the government should regulate the manufacture, use and sale of these products to several European countries have banned use in public spaces.
