As FDA Ban Pressure Mounts, Maine Advocates and Lawmakers Push Back
A U.S. ban on flavored e-liquid has taken effect, but critics say it does not go far enough because it excludes disposable vaping devices. In Maine, advocates and lawmakers are pushing back against a proposed ban on all vapor product sales.
Last Thursday, a ban on adding flavors to e-cigarette liquids took effect in the U.S. - but there have already been complaints that this measure is far from sufficient. FDA regulations do not cover disposable e-cigarettes, and now people are suddenly saying that disposable e-cigarettes are also a problem. Meanwhile, advocates in Maine are pushing back against a proposed ban on the sale of all vaping products, while a city in California has just implemented a similar ban. Notorious activist Stanton Glantz has increasingly criticized anti-smoking research, and Scotland's health department is opposing the government's stance against using smoking as a harm reduction tool.
