VAPING NEWS: MARYLAND [Scent & Flavor Ban]

“Maryland regulators will immediately begin enforcement of a new federal ban on e-cigarette cartridges that come in flavors other than regular or menthol. Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot (D) ramped-up enforcement comes as the General Assembly considers legislation that would ban flavored tobacco products of all kinds. House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 233 would prohibit the sale of tobacco products “with a taste or smell of fruit, menthol, mint, wintergreen, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, honey, a candy, a dessert, an alcoholic beverage, an herb, or a spice.”
