In January 2015, Snyder vetoed two bills that would have banned minors under age 18 from buying or possessing e-cigarettes. In his veto message Snyder said the legislation “does not go far enough,” and that “electronic cigarettes are nicotine-delivery devices that resemble traditional tobacco cigarettes and share a common ingredient, which is the highly addictive chemical nicotine that is derived from tobacco.”


The Senate tried again in May 2015, unanimously passing Senate Bill 231, another Jones-sponsored bill that would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.


Jones said the bill is held up because Snyder’s office wants e-cigarettes to be regulated like tobacco cigarettes, which is something that will never get the Legislature’s support.


This is a battle between Governor Snyder and the legislature - the Governor is a Republican
