‘People Are Stocking Up’: Denver Smoke Shop Lowers Prices Ahead Of FDA Ban
All banned products must be off the shelves by February 1st
Smoke shops are scrambling to sell their remaining fruit flavored e-cigarette cartridges. The Food and Drug Administration will begin enforcing the ban at the end of January.

Pierre showed CBS4 several cartons of the soon-to-be banned flavored cartridges on display. Mile High Pipe and Tobacco only has until the 31st to clear them off the shelves.
