Falmouth Community in Maine Bans Sale of Flavored Tobacco
Falmouth, Maine becomes the latest community to ban flavored tobacco products, despite opposition from big tobacco companies.

According to a report from WGME, the Falmouth community in Maine, United States, is the latest area to decide on a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products.

 

On Monday evening, there was a face-to-face discussion regarding this proposal.

 

According to the organization "Maine Keeps Kids from Flavored Tobacco," despite efforts by the legislative body in the state of Maine to push for a statewide ban on flavored tobacco, communities throughout the entire state have already begun taking proactive measures. Despite pushback from major tobacco companies throughout the process, leaders in small towns like Falmouth remain determined to protect the next generation from these products.
