E-cigarettes 'should not be marketed as smoking cessation aids'

142. Then why don't all states ban the sale to minors, instead of just a handful?

With an absence of federal regulations, many states and cities have adopted their own e-cigarette regulations, most commonly to prohibit sales to minors, including Maryland, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Other states are considering similar legislation.[101]

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would regulate the sale of electronic cigarettes within the state on grounds that "if adults want to purchase and consume these products with an understanding of the associated health risks, they should be able to do so."[102] Senate Bill 648(Authored by Senator Ellen Corbett), proposed a bill that would classify eCigarettes as tobacco products, thus banning their use wherever smoking was banned. In August 2013, SB648 was shelved for the session, just hours before its hearing in the State Assembly. It has not been determined if Sen Corbett will revise the bill and re-introduce it next year.[103]
New Jersey voted in 2009 to treat the electronic cigarette in the same category as tobacco products by including them under the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act, which prohibits smoking in indoor work and public places. Assemblywoman Connie Wagner sponsored the legislation, claiming "that young people who use these things will get hooked on the nicotine and eventually move onto the real thing".[104]
In New Hampshire, the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors is illegal as of July 2010.[105]
Arizona is planning to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors.[106]
In Maryland, sales to minors are banned.[107]
New York State banned the use of e-cigarettes within 100 feet of a public or private school entrance in September 2012, and banned e-cigarette sales to minors starting on 1 January 2013.[108]
On 30 December 2013, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg signed a bill regulating e-cig usage in the same way as that of normal cigarettes. The bill was signed on his second to last day in office after the council approved regulation. One of the arguments from proponents of the bill was a need for contrast between on one hand claiming usage "safe" and on the other "safer than cigarettes, but still potentially dangerous."[109][110][111]
In Pennsylvania, SB 1055 was introduced by Sen. Tim Solobay in 2013 and would ban sales to minors.[112] That same year physician members of the Pennsylvania Medical Society called upon the state legislature to pass electronic cigarette laws that have safeguards equivalent to existing tobacco laws.[
