Iowa bill could make vaping even more restricted than smoking
The bipartisan crusade to discard evidence and conflate smoking with vaping is on track to be codified in Iowa law.
If the bill is passed, the opening to the Smokefree Air Act would be amended to say, “The general assembly finds that environmental tobacco smoke and vapor products cause and exacerbate disease in non-smoking adults and children.”

That statement is not supported by evidence. Scientists will continue to study the potential risks of secondhand vapor, but there’s no clear consensus about whether it’s harmful, and a great deal of doubt that it’s as harmful as tobacco smoke.
Smoking and vaping are not the same, no matter what Iowa lawmakers say
