Massachusetts' Misguided Flavored Nicotine Ban
...it is hypocritical that they are also moving to ban flavored nicotine products, especially if their goal is to address the recent onset of lung disease cases. Given that this ban will only push nicotine products to the black market, and since the black market is clearly the main driver of lung disease cases, the Massachusetts ban will likely result in more cases of lung disease, not less.
Hopefully, other states will take a look at the hypocritical and ineffective policies in Massachusetts and take a more measured and scientific approach that focuses on addressing black market sales of vaping products, particularly THC laced products.
