Executive Vice President of the Illinois Association of Convenience Stores and Illinois Petroleum Marketers Bill Fleishli testified against State Bill 3011 Wednesday in committee. The bill is aimed to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21 years old. Bill Fleishli related to Regional Radio News just why he thinks that might not be a good idea.
Fleishli also said how he thinks this bill could negatively impact local businesses in the state.
That bill is still in committee.
