This bill went through the State senate and is headed for the Assembly. If you vape and live in CA. you need to write your Assemblyperson and kill the bill. It will ban the use of vapor devices any place regular cigarettes are banned.
This bill is bogus, because it is based on no scientific studies. Probably some lobbyist from the pharmacy companies went the State senate and promoted the bill.
The bill refers to this section of the California Health and Safety Code. Especially Subsection (b).
119405. (a) To the extent not preempted by federal law, including, but not limited to, the regulation of electronic cigarettes by the United States Food and Drug Administration, it shall be unlawful for a person to sell or otherwise furnish an electronic cigarette, as defined in subdivision (b), to a person under 18 years of age.
(b) "Electronic cigarette" means a device that can provide an inhalable dose of nicotine by delivering a vaporized solution.
(c) A violation of this section shall be an infraction punishable by a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200) for the first violation, by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) for the second violation, or by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) for a third or subsequent violation.
(d) Nothing in this section nor any other law shall be construed to invalidate an existing ordinance of, or prohibit the adoption of an ordinance by, a city or county that regulates the distribution of electronic cigarettes in a manner that is more restrictive than this section, to the extent that the ordinance is not otherwise prohibited by federal law.
If this bill passes, being a gumpy old fart, I plan on getting a new carto, new tank, juice with no nicotine in it,
and go to a government building and vape. If I get enough of a hair up my a**, I may go up to Sacramento, sit
outside State Senator Corbett's office(introduced this bill) and vape.
Is law enforcement going to test the tank fluid of every person vaping a public place. This could get interesting.
Short list. Write your Assembly person and have the bill squashed.
