“Senators approved tobacco regulations Thursday after finding acceptable bill language separating two controversial measures. With changes adopted to keep the effort rolling, the primary bill (SB 810) would raise the age for lawfully purchasing tobacco products from 18 to 21, prohibit the sale of most flavored nicotine liquids and distinguish vaping products from standard nicotine products. The second bill (SB 1394) would include e-cigarettes and other vaping products as tobacco products, tagging licenses to sell them with the $50 fee. A separate bill (SB 630) by Rockledge Republican Sen. Debbie Mayfield, which would let local governments pass smoking bans in parks, passed the Senate and now heads to the House.”
