State Bans already in place

[Mazinny]

I know that there are threads covering bans in individual states, but I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread which covers all state bans.

So far, I know of the temporary, but complete ban, in Massachusetts, and a flavor ban announced in Michigan, Washington state, and Rhode Island. The New York ban is not in effect yet, but will be on October 4, I believe. Not sure about the other three states.


If there are more states which I'm not aware of, please list them.

NY's flavor ban takes effect on October 1st, IIRC. I plan to load a flavor for the first time in months on that date.

I think enforcement starts on Oct 4.

Gov. Cuomo announces emergency ban on most e-cigarette flavors: ‘Vaping is dangerous, period’

It will go into effect as soon as Oct. 4, according to Beth Garvey, special counsel and senior adviser to the governor. The governor will renew the ban every 90 days.

As I was once taught, in a world that operates at random, all coincidence should be examined.

I believe this will continue to snowball

New Jersey created a special Task Force 2 weeks ago, and recommendations are scheduled to be made public this week.

"But state Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-Gloucester) has said lawmakers don’t need to wait for the findings of a task force to act. He plans to introduce legislation that would make New Jersey the first state to ban the sale of all electronic smoking devices."

Ohio is Teetering also.

Gov. Mike DeWine says he’s looking into a statewide ban on flavored e-cigarettes

At least there is someone getting out there and being heard here in Ohio. If it helps or not, well that remains to be seen. But he is getting his voice heard and his words are getting out there. This is one article showing it, there seem to be a few more featuring him out there as well.

i hope they change their minds by the time it comes to enforcement

Brilliant.

Why do I think it will be, "Except for those that have FDA marketing approval" (i.e. IQOS)?

So...in other words...

My fellow New Jerseyans
I hereby condemn you to smoking cigarettes and suffering from cancer and other smoking related diseases.
No harm reduction for YOU !
(besides, we want the tax money and kickbacks from tobacco)

ffs !

I believe the states suffer the most from the loss of tobacco revenue. I still think Trump's little announcement about disliking flavors was his code to the states: "Go for broke."

It's a lot harder to fight every state than a Federal law. Oh I'm sure the Feds are coming too, but I sincerely believe that announcement was, "If you'd like to accelerate your deeming date, you should go for it. Because, we're not really ready."

Also, if the majority of the states do this, it's a lot easier to get a Federal law going that just cements everything.

It's... Well, I will call it obnoxious. Machiavellian certainly, but also just RATHER obnoxious.

I sometimes think Trump is better at politics than anyone gives him credit for.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand you, but one of those two Bill's is a flavor ban which includes mint and menthol. I don't see how that's a good thing.

I was talking about James Jarvis, President of Ohio Vapor Trade Association. Not the bills.

These UK's publications are old. So, no "meantime" here.
