NEW YORK (WABC) -- Starting Wednesday, if you are taking a puff from an e-cigarette in New York City, you will have to take it outside.

A new law banning electronic cigarettes indoors is now taking effect. Under the law, vaping devices are banned wherever smoking is forbidden, like restaurants, bars and office buildings.

Meanwhile, Governor Cuomo is considering a bill to make sure stores only sell e-cigs to adults.
