Trump to meet with experts on youth vaping
Bookending a week in which the Trump administration seemingly backed off a proposed federal ban on flavored e-cigarettes, the president today is set to have a meeting to discuss youth vaping. Trump will convene medical experts, health advocates, and representatives from the vaping industry. The proposed ban, introduced in September, would include all non-tobacco flavors, but the administration has since relented from putting menthol on that list.
In other vaping news, Massachusetts lawmakers just passed the most strict vaping ban in any state thus far. Gov. Charlie Baker proposed a four-month temporary ban on all flavored products back in September, but the new bill — which awaits Baker’s signature — prohibits menthol and mint flavors for both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, as well as places a 75% excise tax on vaping products.
