[Sophia 学习笔记]-English 014 San Fr

This week London Breed, San Francisco's mayor, will sign legislation making the city the first in America to ban the sale of e-cigarettes.

Shops officials argue that e-smoking's effects are unclear. But even if vaping is not risk-free, it is almost certainly much safer than inhaling cigarette smoke. Quitting tobacco is not easy, while many find vaping an effective way of giving up.
