Colorado Senate Passes Bill Granting Counties Authority to Regulate Flavored E-Cigarettes

A bill in Colorado's State Senate grants counties the power to regulate or prohibit the sale and distribution of flavored e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and other nicotine products.

According to a report by Tobaccoreporter, a bill in the Senate of Colorado, United States, is set to grant counties the authority to regulate or prohibit the sale and distribution of flavored e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and other nicotine products.

Senate Bill 24-022 classifies flavored nicotine and tobacco products as any product, other than tobacco, that has a scent or taste, including products that create a cooling or numbing sensation.

According to Representative Kyle Brown, the initiator of the bill, nearly nine out of ten adults who smoke for the first time do so before the age of 18, citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

He stated that tobacco products can have negative effects on health, including cancer, while e-cigarettes and other e-cigarette products are "highly addictive and may harm the brain development of adolescents.

A similar bill was proposed during the 2022 legislative session but was rejected in the Senate. At the time, Governor Jared Polis expressed his opposition to the bill, stating that he believed this matter should be handled at the local level.
