“Connecticut is sending mixed signals when it comes to age-restricted products. Gov. Ned Lamont, along with the support of many in the legislature, wants to legalize adult-use marijuana and sports wagering, in his words “rather than surrender the market to other states or the black market.” But various flavored tobacco ban proposals making their way through the legislature would send menthol cigarettes, mint smokeless and vape into those same black markets. The governor’s public health bill, HB6450, seeks to ban flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), commonly referred to as vape, and, worse, the Public Health committee recently approved SB326, a bill that would ban all flavored tobacco, including adult-preferred menthol cigarettes, from legal sale within the state.”
