A bill proposing a statewide ban of electronic cigarettes in the state of Utah recently passed the Health and Human Services Committee and now moves to the House for a vote, but according to experts, statements by the bill's sponsor, Rep. Paul Ray, demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of the science behind electronic cigarettes and of nicotine's effects on the body.
"Obviously you're getting rid of some of the smoke," Ray said during the committee meeting. However, electronic cigarettes heat a liquid nicotine solution only to the point of vaporization and actually produce no smoke at all.
