SPRINGFIELD - In a 113-0 vote Tuesday, the Illinois House approved legislation (HB5868) that would require stores to keep electronic cigarettes behind the counter.

The Springfield State Journal-Register reports the bill requires retailers to keep non-tobacco e-cigarettes and other similar products in age-restricted sections, a sealed display case, or behind store

counters.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Kathleen Willis, a Democrat from Addison. A Senate version (SB3268) is before the Senate Public Health Committee.
