Michigan becomes first US state to ban flavoured e-cigarettes
Michigan has become the first US state to ban flavoured e-cigarettes as part of efforts to curb youth vaping.
The measure goes into effect in the next 30 days and bars the sale of any flavoured vaping products in retail stores and online.
“My number one priority is keeping our kids safe,” said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in a statement.
The measure will last six months, with the possibility of an extension and comes amid other action against vaping.
Michigan has joined a number of US states and cities taking steps to block the sale of e-cigarettes. In June, San Francisco became the first US city to ban sales of e-cigarettes and lawmakers in Boulder, Colorado, passed a similar ban last week.
