Michigan Becomes First State To Ban E-Cigarette Sales, Citing Youth
'Health Emergency'

Thu, 09/05/2019 - 18:45

Michigan has become the first state to ban the sale of flavored
e-cigarettes after its health department declared youth vaping a public
health emergency.

The ban is effective immediately and applies to all retail and online
sales in the state, with businesses given 30 days to comply. According
to The Washington Post, which broke the story early Wednesday, the ban
will last for six months at which point lawmakers can renew it for
another six months. Simultaneously there's reported legislation being
developed to put in place a permanent ban.

Surprisingly it was Michigan and not California or New York - both
typically at the forefront of banning products over health fears - to be
the first to take aggressive legislative action. San Francisco was the
first city that recently enacted a ban on e-cigarettes.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) cited the state health department
to say youth vaping was an urgent public health emergency which demanded
immediate action.

"My number one priority is keeping our kids safe and protecting the
health of the people of Michigan," Whitmer said. Though ironically
vaping has been marketed as a "safer" alternative to traditional
cigarettes, critics say the variety of flavors are designed to appeal to
young people.

Gov. Whitmer cited this critique in her rationale for pursuing a ban,
per The Washington Post:

She complained that e-cigarette companies are using sweet flavors,
such as bubble gum and "fruit loops," to hook young people on nicotine,
with potentially long-term harmful consequences.

Opponents of a ban or restriction on e-cigarettes cite the nearly
half-million deaths per year as a result of the nation's traditional
cigarette smoking epidemic, according to most studies. Vaping supporters
say that though e-cigarettes' long term effects are as yet unknown, they
are certainly safer than regular cigarettes.

Late last year US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams formally declared
e-cigarettes an "epidemic" while citing a "historic, unprecedented
increase" in use.

And last week a NBC report based on data from multiple state health
departments said almost 300 people have been hospitalized nationwide as
a result of problems connected to vaping, such as lung-related illness.

Meanwhile, e-cigarette and "smoking alternative" comany Juul has
reportedly poured millions into lobbying against bans on its product;
however, Michigan's relatively fast move to impose the ban is sign of a
likely coming domino effect.

I do find it amusing that pot is legal and pumpkin latte vape is not.

That shows you how the libs are winning. Even Michigan has legalized pot.
Not necessarily saying it's a bad thing, just that it shows how fast the
country is changing and the conservatives are losing. What all legalizing
pot brings, we'll know in another decade or so.

Hard to say which odor is more disgusting. Personally, I wouldn't put either
one of 'em in my lungs.

In Michigan and Colorado (don't know about other places) they've
legalized it at the state level but have kicked the can down to the
municipal level - where many cities have not made it legal (or are not
granting licenses). Or so I hear.

Which is largely irrelevant, because if one town doesn't allow it to be
sold, plenty of nearby towns will.

Just like the alcohol laws in some states. Each county has their own
law. There were many 'beer joints' and liquor stores about 100 feet on
the other side of the county line. Some places could have stores that
sell, but could not have a bar where you could go in and drink.

Where I am the towns are being sued over the medical pot saying they
are restricting access to life saving cough medicine.

I don't know about life-saving, but my husband enjoys much better sleep
with a capsule of a tiny amount of THC at bedtime. Better sleep results
in less pain and a clearer head. Not no pain and a clear head, but he
takes what he can get these days.
