The California legislature will propose a total prohibition on sales of flavoured tobacco products – including e-cigarettes – in retail stores and from vending machines “to halt an upswing in nicotine consumption by youths” when the legislature reconvenes this week.
Drawing inspiration from the FDA’s recent flavour announcements, the ban also aims to impose stricter age verification requirements for online sales.
Meanwhile, in Illinois, an attempt in the state Senate to over-ride governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a Tobacco 21 measure passed by both houses of the legislature failed to get the required three-fifths majority. Similar measures to raise the legal purchasing age for tobacco and vaping products to 21 continue to be passed by jurisdictions at various levels across the US, however.
These – along with details of legal changes and proposals in 15 states and at federal level – were among 69 stories published last month by ECigIntelligence to subscribers through our daily US Live Alerts.
All the stories from November’s US regulatory Live Alerts can now be found here, on one page, ordered alphabetically by state.
The daily service covers significant regulatory and policy-related developments at federal level and in the largest states (Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia), selected major cities and counties (New York City and its five boroughs, Los Angeles County and City, San Francisco County and City, Cook County and Chicago, Dallas County and Dallas, Harris County and Houston, Philadelphia County and Philadelphia, Miami-Dade County and Miami City, Maricopa County and Phoenix). Relevant developments in jurisdictions not specifically covered may also be included.
ECigIntelligence also publishes a daily European regulatory Live Alert.
