Bill Summary

This bill revises the definition of “smoking” for purposes of the general prohibition under current law against smoking in indoor locations. The bill defines “smoking” as inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted or heated cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated product containing, made, or derived from nicotine, tobacco, cannabis, hemp, or another substance, whether natural or synthetic, that is intended for inhalation. Current law defines “smoking” as burning, holding, inhaling, or exhaling smoke from any of the following tobacco- containing items: a lighted cigar, cigarette, or pipe or any other lighted smoking equipment. In addition, the bill specifies that “smoking” includes carrying or using an activated “electronic delivery device.” The bill defines “electronic delivery device” as any device that can be used to deliver an aerosolized or vaporized liquid or other substance for inhalation, regardless of whether the liquid or other substance contains nicotine, including an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, vape pen, or e-hookah. LRB-6489/1 KP:cdc 2025 - 2026 Legislature SENATE BILL 1083

AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "smoking" to include the use of electronic delivery devices and marijuana in indoor public places, aligning with existing prohibitions against smoking tobacco. An "electronic delivery device" is defined as any device used to inhale vaporized liquids or other substances, such as e-cigarettes, vape pens, or e-hookahs, regardless of whether they contain nicotine, but excluding FDA-authorized medical products. This change aims to update the law to cover newer products and substances like cannabis and hemp, which were not explicitly included in the previous definition that focused solely on tobacco products.
