WI Assembly approves legislation to ban sales of "nicotine products" to minors
https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/related/amendments/ab93/asa1_ab93
Don't know why they didn't just amend the definition of "tobacco product" (in the existing WI law that bans sales of tobacco products to minors) to include an "e-cigarette" or "nicotine product".
I suspect that e-cigarette opponents are behind this legislation, and it appears that they still want to classify and demonize "e-cigarettes" as "nicotine products that aren't approved by the FDA" even though e-cigarettes are legally considered a "tobacco product" under the FSPTCA.
