MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - January 01, 2013) - The town of Great Barrington, MA has expanded its anti-smoking ordinance to include electronic cigarettes.

An electronic cigarette resembles a cigarette but delivers nicotine in a vapor form rather than smoke. So why ban it if doesn't cause the same harmful side effects as a traditional cigarette?

The purpose of the town's updated smoking ordinance is to ensure that they stay up to date with the latest trends.

"The purpose of this was to update a 12-year-old regulation and stay ahead of the curve with electronic cigarettes and smoking [in] bars," said Health Director Mark Pruhenski.

South Beach Smoke, a popular electronic cigarette company, disagrees with the newly included e-Cigs being placed into the smoking ban ordinance. A South Beach Smoke electronic cigarette contains no tobacco, smoke, tar or carcinogens -- the most detrimental components of standard cigarettes. This means, not only can smokers enjoy the experience they crave but they can do so without the life threatening side effects and secondhand smoke intruding on others.

"Including e-Cigs in this ordinance says two things about electronic cigarettes. One, that they are becoming more popular. And two, people aren't as educated on e-Cigs as they should be," said a representative from South Beach Smoke.

The South Beach Smoke Electronic Cigarette Deluxe Starter Kit comes equipped with an electronic cigarette standard ion battery and an extra capacity battery, five nicotine cartridges, and a portable wall charger. The kit is built with superior 2-part technology of battery and atomizer and cartridges and filter. The battery and atomizer ensure a satisfying smoking experience that produces 250 puffs per charge. The nicotine cartridges produce maximum vapor after each and every puff. The nicotine cartridges come in 10 delicious flavors such as, Classic Tobacco, Tobacco Blue, Tobacco Golden, Menthol, Peppermint, Vanilla, Chocolate, Cherry, Peach and Piña Colada. Each set of cartridges are also available in four nicotine strengths:  Full Flavored (18mg), Light (12mg), Ultra-Light (6mg) and No Nicotine.
