Oregon Legislators Propose Ban on Flavored Tobacco Products
Oregon lawmakers propose ban on flavored tobacco and vaping products statewide. “One step closer to reducing e-cigarette use,” says official.

Lawmakers in the state of Oregon have proposed a new bill that would end the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products throughout the entire state.


The House Bill 3090 aims to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes and all other flavored tobacco products, including hookah, e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco. It is reported that the bill will undergo a first reading this month.


In the past seven years, we have been preparing for success through legislative means, and now we can finally have a significant impact in reducing new customers," said Jamie Dunphy, Director of Government Relations for the state of Oregon.


Deng Fei stated that the bill is the next step in reducing the number of people who use electronic cigarettes.


A ban on flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco in Washington County, Oregon has been rejected by a judge who ruled that counties in the state do not have the authority to impose such measures and that they must originate from the state legislature.
