MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota House voted for a statewide ban on vaping in bars, restaurants, and workplaces.

The bill would restrict the use of e-cigarettes wherever tobacco smoking is already banned.

The Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act prohibits smoking in most public buildings and workplaces.
