The State House has focused on the sale of nicotine in any form. House Bill 97 would make it illegal to sell minors “electronic nicotine delivery systems,” better known as vaping products. The legislation would also make it illegal for students to use these products on school grounds. Representative Kathy Rapp (R-Warren/Crawford/Forest) said this will help curb nicotine use by treating all nicotine products the same. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives on March 26 by unanimous vote. It is now awaiting Senate action.
