SPRINGFIELD, Ill.  — A prohibition on tobacco sales to those under 21 is now on Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk.

The sponsor is Democratic Sen. Julie Morrison of Deerfield. Her idea is to prevent teenagers from picking up the deadly habit

The Senate voted 39-16 on Thursday to impose the restrictions under legislation known as Tobacco 21.

A Pritzker spokeswoman says the governor agrees young people should be prevented from smoking.
