“In a narrow 3-2 vote on Friday, the Senate Health and Welfare Committee advanced a bill, S.24, to ban the sale of flavored vaping and tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes. Sens. Ann Cummings, D-Washington, and Joshua Terenzini, R-Rutland, opposed the ban. Cummings said she doesn’t have a problem banning flavored vape products, but opposes the prohibition on menthol, and is uneasy about prohibiting products because they have been marketed toward minority communities. Terenzini said he probably would have supported the bill if the menthol ban was stripped out. The bill could still change as it moves through other Senate panels in the coming weeks. Its next stop is the Senate Committee on Economic Development. “
