Maine has implemented a series of flavor bans. Following a unanimous vote by the town council, Bar Harbor has become the fifth town in Maine to ban flavored tobacco products. Portland, South Portland, Brunswick, and Bangor have also voted in support of similar bans.
According to a report by WMTW, a new ordinance in Bar Harbor will go into effect on June 1, 2023, banning the sale of tobacco products with any flavor or scent related to fruit, menthol, peppermint, deer tongue, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, honey, or any candy, dessert, alcoholic beverage, herb, or spice.
Maine has introduced legislation to ban smoking statewide, which is expected to be discussed during this session.
