A legislator in New Mexico has proposed a ban on all flavored electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products. The bill would prohibit the sale of any electronic cigarette or tobacco product that has any added flavorings. Supporters of the bill state that its primary goal is to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
My primary sales come from flavored products. Very few customers purchase unflavored products," said Sabrina Garley, the manager of Biroska SmokeShop, an electronic cigarette supplier in New Mexico.
Local tobacco shops in Albuquerque expressed concern that a proposed bill that would ban flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, could harm their business.
Bill 94 in the House of Representatives was sponsored by Joanne Ferrary, a representative from Las Cruces, New Mexico. "Bill 94 in the House of Representatives will prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, defining terms and ensuring that we do not harm the next generation of children with nicotine," says Ferrary. "By removing flavored tobacco products from the market, it will prevent children from being attracted to any flavor on the market.
