Outright prohibitions probably will do more harm than good, as will unusually high excise taxes. Research and experience show that when cigarettes and other products are heavily taxed, the consequences mimic America\u2019s failed experiment with alcohol Prohibition. Legislators in five northeastern states \u2014 New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maryland \u2014 have introduced bills to ban flavored cigarettes and vaping products in some fashion. Consumers also may be getting the products they want from different counties, states, Indian reservations or international sources. Some may even use \u201cdo it yourself\u201d with menthol-flavored oils or through homemade vaping devices and e-liquids. Consumers do not need a nanny, and they won\u2019t passively accept a ban. Some people like flavored cigarettes, and other flavored nicotine products, and many are willing to obtain them by crossing a border or buying online. States everywhere need to inform themselves about the data. High taxes and outright bans will lead to large-scale smuggling and other lawlessness.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/healthcare\/483369-flavor-prohibitions-will-leave-bad-taste-in-states-mouths\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flavor prohibitions will leave bad taste in states&#8217; mouths<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20CONSEQUENCES%20OF%20FLAVOR%20PROHIBITIONS\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Several states have considered bans on flavored cigarettes and vaping products.
