Smokers in Stoke-on-Trent will be warned about the dangers of fake cigarettes and tobacco as part of a high profile campaign.

Public protection officers from the city council will set up a stall in Hanley indoor market to give advice and information during national No Smoking Day.

The event will take place on Wednesday, March 13 and the team will be available from 10am-3pm.

Never quite understood - does no smoking include electric cigs and herbal tobaco and certain type of vine or is it just 'real tobaco' products?
 
I think the definition is laid out in the Act. I can't remember the exact wording, but am reasonably confident that it refers to setting light to tobacco. The electronic things don't, so are exempt.
