Attention dorks who smoke vaporized nicotine inside bars and clubs: you can't do that anymore. At least not in the city of L.A.
A city council decree bans e-cigarettes as of today in all the same places that cigarettes are banned - any indoor workplace like bars and restaurants, as well as parks and beaches.
