Michigan is poised to become the first US state to ban online and retail sales of flavored e-cigarettes. From a report: The ban, which would last six months, comes at the direction of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer from the state’s Department of Health and Human Services, according to a statement Wednesday. “Companies selling vaping products are using candy flavors to hook children on nicotine and misleading claims to promote the belief that these products are safe. That ends today,” Whitmer said. The ban also covers the marketing of vaping products with words like clean, safe and healthy. Whitmer also ordered the Michigan Department of Transportation to enforce a statute that already exists, barring the advertisement of vaping products on billboards.
