HOUSE LAWMAKERS AND STATE OFFICIALS ARE DISCUSSING HOW TO ADDRESSES THE VAPING CRISIS IN ILLINOIS. 

GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER AND SEVERAL OTHERS ARE PUSHING LEGISLATION BANNING FLAVORED NICOTINE IN HOPES OF CURBING USE BY TEENS. BUT ATTORNEY GENERAL KWAME RAOUL SAYS THAT WON’T BE ENOUGH.

BUT REPRESENTATIVE GRANT WEHRLI OF NAPERVILLE ASKED WHY THEY WOULDN’T MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO VAPE MARIJUANA AS WELL…SINCE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO GOT SICK HERE ARE T-H-C VAPERS.

RAOUL SAYS HIS OFFICE IS ALSO LOOKING INTO THE E-CIG BLACK MARKET. 69 CASES OF SERIOUS RESPIRATORY ILLNESS RELATED TO VAPING HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED IN ILLINOIS WITH ANOTHER 13 STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. ONE PERSON HAS DIED.
