Vermont's Flavored Tobacco Ban Fails to Pass

May.22.2023

Vermont fails to pass a ban on flavored tobacco and e-cigarettes. US states plan to ban flavored products by 2023.

On May 19th, according to a report by halfwheel, the flavor ban on electronic cigarettes in Vermont did not pass. The legislation aimed to prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products and e-cigarette liquids.

The S.B.18 bill states that any product claiming to have a flavor or scent "distinguishable from tobacco" will be considered a flavored tobacco product. The bill was passed by the Vermont Senate at the end of March but did not receive committee approval in the Vermont House.

In early 2023, various states in the United States proposed flavor bans and different companies responded with various strategies. Some cigarette companies released new cigarettes containing synthetic cooling agents to replace the previous menthol cigarettes, in compliance with state laws.

It is understood that earlier this year, the head of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products stated that the agency aims to ban flavored cigars and menthol cigarettes nationwide by the fall of 2023.
