Btw, Propylene glycol is used in many products. From wikipedia: Propylene glycol is used: * As moisturizer in medicines, cosmetics, food, toothpaste, mouth wash, and tobacco products * As a carrier in fragrance oils * As the main ingredient in deodorant sticks.

Sounds like a lot of research went into this vote. It seems possible to me that 38 free thinking educated adults could agree that these things should not be sold to children (and I applaud them for that) but I cannot believe that 38 free thinking educated adults could all possibly agree that these things are and should be treated as the same thing as a regular cigarette. If it bothers you people so much that these devices LOOK like a real cigarette then just require the LED light to be a color other than amber or red. Let the rest of us free thinking educated adults do our own math. 4000+ chemicals in BURNING, SMOKE producing legal Tobacco to approx 15 in the HEATED, VAPOR MIST produced from a electronic cigarette. By the way, The reason they started using Propylene Glycol in antifreeze was to make it safer for the enviroment and less toxic for wildlife. It's considered food grade safe by the FDA and although it is considered a mild irritant it's what they use to make the fake smoke we all breath in at concerts and live theater. The Govenor should pass the age restriction portion and veto the rest. 38-0 really? Sounds like a lot of research went into this vote.
