Indiana does not tax e-cigarettes and vapor products, but its one of many states that might create one this year.

Health officials say teenagers are using e-cigarettes at epidemic rates. Lawmakers in a number of Midwest states, like Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, are addressing the problem and so is the FDA.

Proposed legislation would eliminate some of the labeling requirements, including a rule that every e-liquid container have an identifiable, trackable product code.

According to this year's National Youth Tobacco Survey, 3.6 million teens are using e-cigarettes. That's up 78 percent from last year.

About 120,000 Hoosier youths were surveyed and asked about other substance use including alcohol and prescription drugs. Nearly a third of 12th graders reported using vapor products in 2017.

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the agency is conducting an undercover, nationwide blitz this month to try and stop the sale of e-cigarette products to minors.

It's not known what the health effects are from using e-cigarettes. But one local dentist is raising concerns over a large number of young adult patients in her office with tooth decay, which she attributes to vaping.

The ban won't include bars where everyone is over 21 and that decide to permit smoking.

Legislation is headed to the governor that eliminates many of the state's monopoly-creating, vaping regulations.

House and Senate authors of new vaping regulations say they're in 99 percent agreement on the bill as the session's end draws near.
