The beatdown of vapor products goes on as Connecticut’s largest city is now looking to ban flavored vaping and other tobacco products. City lawmakers announced the intent to ban flavors at a press conference last week.
In addition, state Sen. Marilyn Moore said she will address new legislation before the Connecticut General Assembly’s Public Health Committee, on which she serves, to ban the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes and flavored e-cigarettes.
If passed, Bridgeport would join more than 100 cities in the nation and two states that have enacted bans on flavored tobacco products, which the group said have been proven to be more attractive to children.
Earlier this year, Connecticut lawmakers announced they wanted more vapor industry legislation.
