MA Gov. Charlie Baker Signs New Ban On Tobacco, Vape Flavors, Menthol Cigarettes
Baker stated he’ll keep the ban in place until at least December 11th
Massachusetts’ governor signed into law Wednesday a groundbreaking ban on the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products, including menthol cigarettes.
Republican Gov. Charlie Baker’s signature makes Massachusetts the first to enact a permanent statewide ban, anti-smoking groups said.
It immediately bans the sale of flavored vaping products and will outlaw sales of menthol cigarettes starting June 1, 2020.
In September, Baker had declared a public health emergency and ordered a temporary ban on the sale of all vaping products — flavored and unflavored.
Baker said Wednesday he’ll keep that ban in place until Dec. 11 while his administration drafts additional regulations.
