A new bill in the Illinois State Senate aims to ban electronic cigarettes in public places as a measure to curb the trend of underage smoking.
The current smoking law in Illinois was passed in 2007. It prohibits smoking within 4.5 meters of public entrances and requires no smoking signs to be posted in public places.
In recent years, the use of electronic cigarettes has become increasingly popular, and Senator Julie Morrison is seeking to ensure that they are also included in regulations.
The bill, known as HB 1561, has been approved by the Illinois Senate Executive Committee and will now be presented to the full Senate for further consideration.
