signed legislation Friday banning indoor e-cigarette or vape use in public spaces.

"Illinoisans deserve to enjoy public spaces without being exposed unwillingly to secondhand vapor and other electronic cigarettes byproducts," said Governor JB Pritzker. The bill adds electronic smoking devices to the 2008 Smoke-Free Illinois Act, which banned smoking in most public spaces in the state.
