Proposed Ordinance Targets Underage Vaping in Michigan
Michigan's Flushing city proposes ordinance to ban underage tobacco and e-cigarette use, sales, and distribution.

The city of Ferndale in Michigan is proposing a law that would prohibit minors from possessing, selling, consuming, or distributing tobacco and e-cigarette products.


The mayor of Flushing, Joe Karlichek, stated, "Listen, children are our future, and it is irresponsible of us if we do nothing here.


The Flushing City Council aims to prevent underage vaping. They are working towards educating the community about the potential dangers of e-cigarettes, but now members are taking it a step further with a proposed new ordinance.


The proposed regulation will impose fines on any businesses selling electronic cigarettes or tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. The first offense for violating this civil infraction will result in a penalty of $50, the second offense will be $100, and any subsequent violations will result in criminal charges that carry a penalty of up to 93 days imprisonment or a maximum fine of $500.


Once the ordinance is approved, it will undergo a second reading and public comments.
