Rep. Paul Ray (R)

HB 375 (Electronic Cigarette Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill prohibits the manufacture, distribution, sale, possession, and use of any electronic cigarette, except for people over 21 who are in the military or who are the spouse or child of someone in the military.

Libertas opposes this bill. Criminalizing people for using an e-cigarette device is extremely unreasonable and overly punitive, especially in regards to those who use these devices as a smoking cessation practice.
