New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a ban on flavored vaping products Tuesday in response to growing concerns about the health impacts of e-cigarettes.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has suggested that the use of e-cigarettes could increase the likelihood of future tobacco use, particularly among younger individuals.
The actual text of the bill outlaws selling, distributing, or furnishing vapor products with a “characterizing flavor.” The law subsequently goes on to define this term as “a distinguishable flavor, taste, or aroma other than tobacco, including, but not limited to, any fruit, chocolate, vanilla, honey, candy, cocoa, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb, mint, menthol, wintergreen, or spice flavoring.”
