Massachusetts has placed heavy restrictions on the sale of flavored tobacco and nicotine vaping products, with GOP Gov. Charlie Baker signing into law a set of sweeping tobacco controls
The legislation outlaws any flavored tobacco products, including mentholated cigarettes and flavored nicotine-based e-cigarettes, except those sold for on-site consumption in specialty smoking bars. The new law also puts a 75% excise tax on non-flavored e-cigarettes sold in the state, and restricts the amount of nicotine that can be in non-flavored vapes sold anywhere but a specialty shop.
Vaping age raisedThe Vapor Technology Association, an industry group of vaping manufacturers and retailers that has sued Massachusetts and other states over executive orders banning flavored vaping devices, did not respond immediately to a request for comment Wednesday. In past statements, the group has disputed claims that the industry targets children. The VTA says it supports efforts to raise the age for vaping to 21 nationwide, a step Massachusetts took last year.State Rep.
