Maine Legislature Proposes Ban on Flavored Tobacco Products.
Maine lawmakers propose ban on flavored tobacco, including e-cigarettes. Local cities and towns have already passed similar bans.

The legislature of Maine has proposed a ban on flavored tobacco products including e-cigarettes. If the bill passes, Maine would prohibit the sale of such products.


It is reported that Senator Gilduden of Maine submitted the bill on Friday. Maine has recently become a hub for banning the sale of flavored tobacco, as three out of the state's four most populous cities have passed their own bans.


Recently, South Portland passed legislation to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products.


The owner of Portland Smoke and Vape South Portland said that the e-cigarette community has received overwhelming support, with many signing a petition against the ban.


South Portland, along with Portland, Brunswick, and Bangor, has become a community that no longer sells flavored tobacco products.


According to media reports, the legislative body in Maine has begun its session, but the bill has not yet been assigned to a committee.
