TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Despite opposition from prominent health groups, a House committee Monday approved a bill that would regulate the sale of electronic cigarettes and raise the state’s legal age to use tobacco and vaping products from 18 to 21.
The vote by the House Commerce Committee sends the bill (HB 987) to the full House.
The Senate version of the bill (SB 1080) is ready for consideration by the full Senate after being approved Friday by the Rules Committee.

“We’re a much more modern society than when this (unemployment) statute was first written,” said Sen. Jason Brodeur, a Sanford Republican sponsoring the bill. “We ve done some great things to bolster our (unemployment) trust fund.”
Brodeur’s bill underwent changes, including expanding the number of weeks that benefits would be available and refining a “work search” requirement in which people on unemployment must reach out to five prospective employers each week. The House does not have an identical bill.
Last spring, as the pandemic devastated businesses in Florida, more than 1 million people were quickly put out of work. They faced troubles with the state’s CONNECT online unemployment system, which largely crashed, and with the amounts of benefits.
