The electronic cigarette may soon be banned in South Portland, Cumberland County, Maine (WGME), according to recent discussions held by the city council. The council debated on whether to ban fruit-flavored e-cigarettes. Portland, Brunswick, and Bangor have already prohibited the use of these products.
The organization "Maine Flavors Hook Kids" says that a recent study found over 14% of high school students and over 3% of middle school students are using e-cigarettes, with the majority choosing flavored products.
City officials have stated that evidence shows electronic cigarettes are more addictive, and the ban will include mint-flavored e-cigarettes. Council member Misha Pride has reported that five out of the current six council members support the ban and may accept the proposed prohibition in December.
