COLUMBUS, Ohio — New bipartisan legislation in the Ohio Senate would require e-cigarette liquid to be sold in child-resistant packaging.
Violators could be fined up to $1,000 per offense under Senate Bill 379, introduced Wednesday by Sen. Shannon Jones, a Springboro Republican. The money collected from offenders would go to the local county treasury.
E-cigarettes work by vaporizing a liquid, which is then inhaled. Jones' bill would require childproof packaging for all such liquids, whether they contain nicotine or not.
