A invoice that will have banned the sale of most flavored nicotine merchandise in Colorado did not get out of a Senate committee Tuesday, successfully killing it for this session.
House Bill 1064 would have banned all flavored tobacco merchandise and nicotine liquids, besides “premium cigars” and hookah tobacco.
Some flavored tobacco merchandise should be leaving the cabinets quickly, although. The U.S. Meals and Drug Administration has proposed banning menthol from cigarettes and all flavors from cigars. Flavored flamable cigarettes have been banned in 2009.
Technically, most vaping liquids aren’t presupposed to be available on the market whereas the FDA evaluates them, however nobody is imposing that.
Amanda Wheeler, president of the American Vapor Producers, launched a press release praising the Senate appropriations committee’s vote to not advance the invoice.
“Colorado rejecting the flavour ban is a sign for different jurisdictions to refocus public well being efforts on what works — vaping,” she stated. “Nicotine vaping is the only handiest smoking cessation methodology ever devised.”
