SB 1031

This bill revises the definition of “smoking” for purposes of the general

prohibition under current law against smoking in indoor locations. The bill defines

“smoking” as inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted or heated cigar,

cigarette, pipe, hookah, or any other lighted or heated tobacco or plant product that

is intended for inhalation, including natural or synthetic marijuana, in any manner

or in any form. Current law defines “smoking” as burning, holding, inhaling, or

exhaling smoke from any of the following tobacco-containing items: a lighted cigar,

cigarette, or pipe or any other lighted smoking equipment.

In addition, the bill specifies that “smoking” includes inhaling or exhaling an

aerosolized or vaporized liquid or other substance from an “electronic smoking

device.” The bill defines “electronic smoking device” as any device that can be used

to deliver an aerosolized or vaporized liquid or other substance for inhalation,

regardless of whether the liquid or other substance contains nicotine, including an

e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, vape pen, or e-hookah.
