Lights Out: Bloomberg Bans E-Cigarettes in Last Days as Mayor

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed his final bills into law on Monday, one day before his last in office.

The new laws will require an annual report on poverty in the city, a new database built to track money spent on Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts, measures to bolster emergency preparedness and other measures to reduce toxic emissions from vehicles that deliver trade waste. Bloomberg will also sign a bill that lumps e-cigarettes into the Smoke Free Air Act, meaning the devices are banned everywhere smoking is banned.
