VAPING NEWS: CONNECTICUT [Flavor Ban + Vape Tax Increase]

“Gov. Ned Lamont will unveil a revised budget Wednesday that bans flavored vaping liquids, including menthol. And while it includes no major tax hikes, sources said the governor’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year would increase the levy adopted last May on e-cigarettes. Lamont, who met with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last September to discuss vaping, pledged his administration would intensify efforts in 2020 to curb its use. The governor also continues to support the legalization of recreational marijuana and the taxation of cannabis sales, but his budget assumes no new revenue from this change.”
