===============
Edit: Okay this is almost funny. But if the FDA deems E-Cigs as a tobacco Product, as one day they sure say they will do. It voids the law. This bill clearly can not ban Cigarettes, we all understand that. So the bill talks about nicotine outside of tobacco.

Its most likely entirely DOA because the FDA says they will do it, the courts would have a big problem pulling items off the shelves, given the FDA has documented they are Tobacco products.

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Tobacco Accessories and Smoking Herbs Control Act. Provides that a product containing or delivering nicotine intended or expected for human consumption, or any part of such a product, that is not a tobacco product shall not be distributed or sold in the State or to consumers in the State unless it has been approved or otherwise certified for legal sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a tobacco use cessation, harm reduction, or modified-risk product, or for other medical purposes, and is being marketed and sold solely for that approved purpose. Establishes penalties for violations.

What the heck is this anyway? The headline says the bill has been "passed" while the article says it's just being proposed. I've heard nothing about a statewide ban on e-cigs. Chicago recently banned using them in public areas where analogs are banned, but this isn't the same thing as banning them outright.

I think that it was passed in Chicago, but she's working on banning them in all of Illinois.

The ban in Chicago is not the same as what this crackpot is proposing. This crackpot is proposing a total ban on e-cigs. Chicago only banned using them in public spaces where tobacco products are banned. This woman is off her rocker. Please send her a message through her website and tell her what a loony bird she is.
