“A final batch of bills approved this year by the Legislature, many scheduled to become law Oct. 1, continue to await a call from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Once the remaining bills are formally moved to the governor’s office, DeSantis will have 15 days to act on each proposal. The highest profile of the remaining measures, the e-cigarette legislation (SB 810), would go into effect Jan. 1. The proposal would identify e-cigarettes and vaping products as “tobacco products.” It would raise the age to purchase any tobacco products — including tobacco cigarettes, dip and chew, as well as e-cigarettes — from 18 to 21. The changes, promoted as addressing what health officials called a youth vaping “epidemic,” were a priority of Senate President Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton.”
