The Alabama Senate passed a bill to ban vaping in public places, adding it to the existing Clean Indoor Air Act.Summary
The Alabama Senate has approved a bill that would prohibit vaping in public places and at public meetings. Sponsored by Senator Gerald Allen, the bill amends the Alabama Clean Indoor Air Act to include electronic nicotine delivery systems, effectively treating vaping the same as smoking. Senator Allen was prompted to introduce the legislation after discovering vaping was not explicitly covered under the existing law. Violators could face a $25 fine. The bill also proposes renaming the act in honor of Vivian Davis Figures, who championed the original Clean Indoor Air Act in 2003. The bill now proceeds to the House for consideration.
