Wrap:  An e-cigarette bill would prohibit the sale of alternative nicotine and vapor products to minors.

It also contains a provision that would restrict these products from being regulated as traditional tobacco products.

Columbia Republican Representative Caleb Rowden says the governor's veto of the bill is purely political.

Governor Nixon wrote in his July veto message the bill harms Missourians because of the regulation provision.
