Today, the state of Michigan became the first state to ban the sales of flavored e-cigarettes. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has used her executive power to enact this ban for the next six months, after which she will renew it for another six months. During this year-long period, Whitmer will be working to pass a law banning flavored e-cigarettes indefinitely. The governor’s office also released that she will be restricting marketing on the products to prevent companies from portraying the products as clean.
