A new bill in the Senate of Indiana, United States, hopes to ban the use of electronic cigarettes in public places.
The Senate Bill 1561 has been passed by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration and will now be brought to the full Senate for further deliberation.
In 2007, the state of Illinois in the United States passed a smoke-free law. According to WCIA news, the law prohibits smoking within 15 feet of entrances and requires the posting of no smoking signs in public places.
However, as e-cigarettes have become widespread, Senator Julie Morrison wants to ensure they are also included.
A doctor from OSF Healthcare Company stated that this helps to prevent secondhand smoke from entering public air.
