Illinois Senate Passes Bills to Restrict Youth Vaping Activities
Illinois Senate passed two bills on April 9th to restrict youth vaping, targeting e-cigarettes disguised as household items.

According to WGEM on April 10, the Illinois State Senate passed two bills on Tuesday, April 9 aimed at limiting teenage smoking.

 

According to proposed legislation by Illinois State Senator Julie Morrison, one bill would ban companies from selling e-cigarette devices that resemble common household items. Another bill, introduced by State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel, would prohibit the delivery of e-cigarettes within the state of Illinois, with the exception of retailers and distributors.

 

Selling e-cigarettes to those under 21 years old in Illinois is illegal. However, teenagers can bypass this ban by having these products delivered to their homes.

 

Currently, both bills have been submitted to the state House of Representatives.
