“The Senate Ways and Means and Judiciary committees gave preliminary approval for a ban on flavored electronic cigarette liquids. House Bill 2457 would in effect ban vaping in the islands. If passed, the law would go into effect Sept. 1. Businesses that sell vaping products have also opposed the ban. Some worry this would force them to close their business. But advocates for vaping bans have also relied on media campaigns. The Tobacco Free Kids Action Fund has television ads running through Sunday on cable television, according to contracts filed with the Federal Communications Commission. Even if the bill clears the Senate next week, it must still clear a final vote in the House, where previous vaping measures have died.”
