E-cigarette smoking is prohibited, not the e-cigarettes themselves. That's a poorly worded summary of the change.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/302/...

SEC. 409

Adds e-cigarettes to Section 41706 of title 49 of the US Code and bans their use on planes (equivalent to the ban on the use of cigarettes).

Wasn't that already the law?

Apparently not. Cigarette use was banned by law. E-cigarette use was only banned by convention or airline policy.
