In recent years vaping has gained popularity as an alternative to smoking cigarettes. Many people have been led to believe that vaping is the safer option however, recent studies suggest that vaping can lead to long-term health issues. One major area of concern is the potential link to infertility in men who vape.
Both the Louisiana House of Representatives and Senate have passed a bill that would make illegal to use a vape or e-cigarette while a child is in the car as well.
A bid to increase Louisiana's legal smoking age from 18 to 21 narrowly escaped the House budget committee, but only after lawmakers added a long list of exemptions to the proposal.
