Assembly Bill 1112 aims to expand the definition of smoking in Wisconsin to include electronic delivery devices and marijuana. The bill revises the current law's definition of smoking to encompass not only traditional tobacco products but also any lighted or heated items containing nicotine, tobacco, cannabis, or other substances intended for inhalation. Specifically, it introduces a new definition for "electronic delivery device," which includes e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, vape pens, and e-hookahs, while excluding FDA-authorized drugs and devices.
The bill repeals the existing definition of smoking and recreates it to reflect these changes, ensuring that the use of activated electronic delivery devices falls under the same prohibitions as traditional smoking in indoor locations. This legislative update is intended to enhance public health protections by addressing the growing prevalence of vaping and the use of marijuana in indoor settings.
