California's anti-vaping bill goes up in smoke.

The article states that the California legislature failed to pass legislation advanced by California state senator Mark Leno that would have extended the state's smoking ban to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in July 2015. According to the article, some pointed to the growing influence of the e-cigarette industry, which lobbied against the bill, to the bill's defeat. The article also discusses a regulatory rule concerning e-cigarettes proposed by the U.S. agency the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The article also discusses taxation of e-cigarettes.
