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.
Every kid I’ve talked to is under the false impression that it’s not risky to Vape at all, some of these vaping products, they actually found cyanide in some of them
Right step
Now do cigarettes
When the first teens died it all should have been banned but our chicken president and wife promised to ban it and the rich fucks told their puppet to back off and they did like clowns.
So if you can’t control it restrict it...this was never about the well being of people. It about money and control
Marijuana legal to buy everywhere in the state recreationally but a pack of Newport Lights is not.. lmao... what a joke!
Hoax.. one big tax grab
I grew up in Massachusetts. This kind of thing is why I moved away
Just look at that thing. Imagine sucking on that and drawing whatever it produces into your fragile pink lungs, which are ground zero for your very life force.
Great! Now they’ll just smoke dope loaded with THC, you know that which was added to the vaping liquid that caused the lung issues. Smart!
Alcohol kills thousands more
Hopefully other states will follow suit. Another case where the federal government sold out to Big Tobacco instead of doing their job.
OMG what next? they should start banning flavored wine
Fuck with my cigs this vet is coming for you lol
Lol this state sucks
While other States legalise Cannabis
Laws do not stop the sale of those that are killing folks.
Now do cigarettes....oh wait, you took bribe money from big tobacco. MassGovernor
Imagine if these political hacks spent half the time they waste on trying to limit people’s personal life choices and worked to better the economy for everyone We might actually get something useful done
what about cigarettes? i guess those are safer.
Folks who prefer Newports must be terribly disappointed.
McDonald's Happy meals, cereals are poison with cartoons on cover, I mean we could do this all day. That's why Americans should reject all of this. Give them an inch and they'll take it all
This thing is selling in kenya like hell... Everyone in a club owns one...😭😭😭
This vaping craze is mind blowing. Like what’s really behind and driving all of this backlash?
About time
Interesting
What a bunch of horseshit...conflating the injuries from homemade cannabis vaping cartridges with legit products leads to this...and I have yet to see data that this shit is anywhere near as harmful as tobacco.
What are the ingredients beside nicotine?
But cigarettes are still ok? Sounds legit
But guns are ok sold everywhere, to anyone, at any time. 🙄
IF MASS was smart, they would sell these in a STATE RUN STORE like packaged liquor vs taking away the freedom of self determination from the masses
Good
Yet NO new restrictions on cigarettes that kill 7,000 Americans daily. The vape industry does not have the pockets to bribe the government like the tobacco industry does!
Did they ban cigarettes? No? But they care about our health, right? Hypocrisy msa
Good
A family friend passed suddenly last week due to vaping nicotine... he was in his 50’s I believe. I don’t have a point to make, just seemed relevant to share. A whole family has been left without their father/husband and it’s just sad that it happened.
Mass is a Nazi State
Massachusetts is so bogus.
We need to ban ALL tobacco products as they are responsible for millions of deaths, around the world, each year.
Congrats to the black market and nanny state!
Way to take on the 'big' issue, bunch of hypocrites
We're a small state. It's about 65 miles from NH through Mass to RI. All it means is that the border states will get the revenue.
It's because regular cigarettes are being discriminated against right?
Charlie Baker is a lame duck and will be removed next election. He is an absolute MORON. Can’t wait to vote out everyone involved. I don’t even vape either.
But not nicotine itself?!?
This wreaks of corruption. Remember this come election time in a couple of years.
No Breaking News that judge hits pause on McGahn comply with subpoena Come on CNN time to start reporting Good News for Trump! You can do it!!! Oh I forgot u only report the bad stuff on Trump. Well the fake bad news that y'all make up... SMH
Os cara tão fumando pendrive
CNN IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FORMIDABLE POPULAR MEDIA AND IT SHOULD IMMENSELY PUBLISHISE THIS NEWS REPEATEDLY TILL THE MENACE IS ERADICATED.
Ridiculous overreach. This decision will create more young smokers and reinvigorate the tobacco industry.
Ok now do cotton candy and birthday cake vodka.. I'm sure that's marketed to 40 yr olds... just hypocritical
Big tobacco wins again
Why?
they're just going to drive across the border to Rhode island or New Hampshire f*** Massachusetts
*takes bribe from big tobacco
great. now do guns.
