Use of e-cigarettes would no longer be legally permitted in public places across Illinois under legislation being considered by state legislators.
Illinois Sen. Julie Morrison previously proposed a bill that would include e-cigarettes and vapes to the Smoke Free Illinois Act, which prohibits smoking in public indoors and within 15 feet of entrances and also mandates that"no smoking" signs be posted on the prohibited public place, according to a news release.
"A tobacco epidemic continues in our state,” Morrison said in a recent news release. “We have made great progress, but the surge of use of e-cigarettes has threatened that progress and lured more people toward a deadly addiction.”Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
