Smoking bill advances

The American Lung Association is praising Illinois lawmakers for taking steps to address youth access to e-cigarettes.  Kristina Hamilton, with the A-L-A of Illinois, says the
“Preventing Youth Vaping Act” would give the state Attorney General more enforcement authority over e-cigarette companies.  That measure now awaits action by the Governor. Meanwhile, Hamilton says work continues to convince the House and Senate to add e-cigarettes to the Smoke-Free Illinois Act .  The Smoke-Free Illinois Act has prohibited smoking in virtually all public places and workplaces since 2008.
