E-Cigarette Use

 Using electronic cigarettes in public places is prohibited in Illinois under a recently signed law.

The measure amends the Smoke-Free Illinois Act of 2008 that banned smoking in most public places. E-cigarettes are now added to the list of prohibited products.

“Illinoisans deserve to enjoy public spaces without being exposed unwillingly to secondhand vapor and other electronic cigarette by products,” said Gov. JB Pritzker, who signed the bill into law on July 28. “Now, e-cigarettes and vapes will qualify under existing anti-smoking laws, reducing air pollution and making a more accessible, healthy Illinois.”

Individuals and businesses found to be in violation of the law will be subject to fines.#banninge-cigaretteuseimpublicplaces, #schaumburglawyer, #schaumburgcriminallawyer, #criminallawyernearme,
