A new Illinois law will take effect on January 1, imposing additional restrictions on e-cigarettes.
One law prohibits the advertising, marketing, or promotion of e-cigarettes in a way that could cause people to mistake them for items other than tobacco products.
State Senator Julie Morrison (D-Lake Forest) said some e-cigarettes are designed to look like school supplies such as highlighters, erasers, and pencil sharpeners.
Morrison said, “This law will stop tobacco companies from deceiving educators and guardians responsible for keeping children safe.”
According to media reports, Elizabeth Hicks of the Consumer Choice Center said the crackdown on e-cigarettes could push some Illinois residents back to smoking conventional cigarettes, and taxpayers would bear the cost.
“Unfortunately, consumers are not the only ones who lose—taxpayers do too,” Hicks said. “Illinois spends more than $2 billion each year in Medicaid costs to treat smoking-related illnesses, one of the highest Medicaid burdens in the nation.”
Another law prohibits vaping products purchased through mail, online, or other remote sales channels from being delivered to anyone in the state other than distributors or retailers.
