Idaho legislation would ban e-cigarette sales to minors

BOISE, Idaho — Lawmakers in the Idaho House introduced legislation to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors.

The so-called e-cigarettes allow the user to heat nicotine, herbs or other substances and ingest the active ingredients without actually burning the substance.

But Republican Rep. Bob Nonini, of Coeur d'Alene, says state health officials are increasingly concerned about sales of the devices to children. Nonini brought legislation to the House Health & Welfare Committee on Friday that would prohibit sales of e-cigarettes to minors.

Advocates for banning sales of the devices to kids say it will send an important message about smoking in general.
