Electronic cigarettes will soon be banned from being used in indoor public spaces in Illinois. Governor Pritzker signed the ban into law on Friday. The bill adds electronic smoking devices to the 2008 Smoke-Free Illinois Act, which banned smoking in most public spaces in the state. The law goes into effect January 1st.
