“Missoula has become Montana’s first city to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of flavored e-cigarette and vape products. On a vote of 8 to 4 the Missoula City Council Monday night passed the ordinance banning the sale of all flavored vaping products within city limits, extending five miles out into the county. It also requires retailers to keep all tobacco products behind the counter and away from underage minors. The move comes three months after the state health department, facing pushback from legislators, withdrew a proposal to enact a permanent statewide ban on the sale and marketing of flavored e-cigarettes. Missoula’s ban on flavored vape products takes effect on January 25th. Both supporters and critics of the ordinance expect a legal challenge to the rule.”
