Dear all,
one of our major clients set an interesting question concerning electronic cigarettes. In the building - we already certified - smoking is not allowed, but could be electronic cigarettes? They are emitting no ETS so the intent of the credit seems to be met.
Do you support this estimation?

Andreas, on a practical level, with the building already certified, it's up to building management to decide that.
If this were to come up with LEED—and it hasn't officially, to my knowledge—I would say it would not be allowed. From what I have read in online articles, the safety of e-cigarettes is not very well-established. I'd like to see more testing before hanging out around them.
