A proposal that would increase the minimum age to buy e-cigarettes and vaping supplies in Sturgeon Bay is on hold for now. The Community Services and Protection Committee this week considered that plan but opted to table it. Alderman Seth Wiederanders says the city is waiting on state and federal proposals to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products to 21.
Wiederanders says Sturgeon Bay's proposal was prompted by studies and reports of severe health risks from vaping among teens.
