California Lawmakers Propose Ban On All Flavored Tobacco Products

A coalition of California lawmakers, supported by the Lieutenant Governor, has proposed a bill to ban flavored tobacco products in stores. This includes menthol cartridges, refillable vaping devices, flavored cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and hookah products, but excludes online sales. The bill aims to protect children and teens from unhealthy habits. If passed, California would follow Massachusetts in banning flavored E-cigarette sales.

What is the effective date of the Massachusetts ban on flavored E-cigarette sales?
