Illinois lawmakers are considering two bills aimed at ending the marketing of concealable-style vapes and online sales.
One bill would ban e-cigarettes designed to look like objects commonly carried by youth, such as highlighters and markers, and therefore not be spotted by adults, according to media reports.
A second bill would prohibit e-cigarettes from being purchased remotely by anyone other than a distributor or seller.
Both bills passed out of the Senate executive committee earlier this month and await a vote by the full chamber.
