Late Wednesday, Brown signed the bill raising the age for tobacco use, including vaping, to 21, the Associated Press reports. He also vetoed a bill that would have asked voters to divert tobacco taxes to pay for the health expenses of those with tobacco-related ailments, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    Are we concerned about tar damage, or nicotine addiction?

    Is it reasonable (not fair, but something that a majority of voters would think) to consider "vapers" to be more likely pot smokers?

    Gotta think like a politician if you want to understand the laws they propose.
