Letter to the editor: Debunking myths of Maine’s proposed flavored-tobacco ban
Share
As the Maine Legislature considers a ban on the legal sale of all flavored tobacco in the state, the good people of Maine deserve to know what is real and what is spin.
The real target of the legislation (L.D. 1550) should be egregious vape and e-cigarette flavors like cotton candy, sour melon and Caribbean punch, which are slickly packaged and marketed and are the ones with the highest youth appeal. Very few youth use traditional tobacco flavors, such as wintergreen moist smokeless and menthol cigarettes, yet these legal adult products are included in the bill.
