The Senate this week passed a bill that would expand current law that prohibits the sale of nicotine to minors.

It’s already illegal for stores to sell tobacco products to persons under the age of 18. Senate Bill 18 would expand the prohibition to include modern smoke products, such as electronic cigarettes.

The bill, which is being sponsored by Democratic Sens. Jeanne Nicholson of Black Hawk and Matt Jones of Louisville, passed the Senate on Feb. 24, following a 20-15 vote. The bill now heads to the House.
