MEMORANDUM

Posted: June 4, 2013 05:29 PM
From: Senator Timothy J. Solobay
To: All Senate members
Subject: Sale of alternative nicotine products to minors
 
In the near future, I will introduce legislation to prohibit the sale of alternative nicotine products to minors.

Over the past few years, alternative nicotine products such as electronic cigarettes have hit the market with growing popularity. While electronic cigarettes do not produce traditional smoke, they still contain nicotine. My legislation would amend Title 18 to include alternative nicotine products within the restrictions that currently apply to the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to minors. With the long-term effects of tobacco-free products still being studied, I think it’s important that we are proactive and update our laws to ensure that these new cigarettes stay out of the hands of our youth.

Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation.

Introduced as SB1055
