Michigan Just Became the First State to Ban Flavored Vapes. Will It Actually Work?

-related death in Illinois and a second potential death in Oregon. In Michigan, six potential vaping-related illness cases are currently under review, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

But in terms of the larger conversation currently unfolding about the health risks of e-cigarette use, Whitmer’s drastic action is certainly a step in the right direction, says Dr. Robert Jackler, a professor at Stanford University and principal investigator atBanning flavored e-cigarettes reduces the risk of young smokers becoming hooked on vaping, while simultaneously ensuring that e-cigarettes are still available as a cessation method for adults who smoke traditional tobacco cigarettes.

But while banning flavored e-cigarettes will undoubtedly prevent new underage consumers from becoming hooked on e-cigarettes, it likely won’t do much to curb the black market proliferation of e-cigarettes, predominantly on the internet, where such markets thrive. “If you ban it in Michigan, people will just go to Indiana and load up their truck with flavored e-cigarettes,” Jackler says.

in response to the Michigan ban, expressing concern that it could lead to the explosion of black-market sales. But in the case of e-cigarettes, such concerns may be particularly trenchant: though the CDC has declined to provide specific numbers, as, many of the more than 300 recent cases of lung ailments attributed to vaping that are being investigated by the CDC have been the result of young people purchasing black-market THC cartridges, not mass-produced e-cigarettes from companies like Juul.

Another violator of her oath of office. Nowhere does the Bill of Rights say that a State Governor has the right to deny commerce to anyone. If adults want to buy e-cig items, then that is called FREE MARKET. Enough of the attacks on liberty; and it would figure Michiganistan.

This sin't true Massachusetts did this last year

The stupidity of people commenting is astounding, and dont cheer,this will be challenged in court and the state will do loose.whats next ban soda,about fucking guns that kill more then all of em.

GovWhitmer 👏🏼They may not appreciate it now, but T.Y. for helping to save lives! Anything to deter ppl frm vaping is a good thing. It’s the next opioid crisis. Countless ppl are ending up in hosp & have no concept of potential of long term effects bc it’s so new. Proud I🗳for u!

backed by tobacco lobbyists, she had disenfranchised countless constituents, and will destroy many mom and pop businesses and their families. hopefully no other state makes the same mistake

Dumb.
