- Calgary to study e-cigarettes with an eye to regulation
- E-cigarettes on planes: legal grey area left up to carriers
The suggested fines are $100 to $200.
The committee recommendation also asks the mayor to send a letter to Alberta's health minister for a provincial e-cigarette strategy.
The ban still has to be voted on by city council later this month.
