A new report says those favoring safer nicotine products are on “the right side of history.”
On Election Day, California voters approved a law to ban all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Yet Marlboros and Camels can be bought at any corner store or gas station.
This is, to be blunt, nuts. It makes no sense to ban safer nicotine products, like e-cigarettes, while permitting deadly combustible cigarettes to remain on sale.
Yet this misguided approach to tobacco regulation is more widespread than not.
Consider: California joins New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island in banning flavored vapes. The FDA has so far refused to approve any flavored vapes for sale. Globally, Australia has enacted a de facto ban on vapes, as has India.
