An influential Democrat in the Minnesota House acknowledges one part of their plan to discourage youth vaping might be a long shot — namely, a proposed total ban on Internet sales of tobacco and vaping products in Minnesota. Eagan Democrat Laurie Halverson says, “It’ll be a heavy lift to get that done and to help people understand what the urgency is around this…. It’ll definitely be a challenge.”
Halverson says Internet sales have been a real boon for a lot of companies, but also a place where kids can obtain tobacco and vaping products.
