INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana??s House of Representatives voted earlier this week to apply the state??s cigarette laws to electronic cigarettes, thus banning their sale to anyone younger than 18 years old, Fox59.com reports.
"E-cigarettes are marketed to a younger audience because of their variety of flavors including chocolate and strawberry," said Rep. Lehman. "Given their addictive nature, I believe that e-cigarettes should be subject to the same laws as regular cigarettes when it comes to minors."
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
