[According to industry news] On May 19, reported that Vermont’s vape flavor ban was not passed. According to the editorial, the ordinance was intended to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products and vape vapor.

The bill (S.B. 18) states that if a company claims that its product has “a flavor or aroma other than tobacco flavor,” then the product would be considered a flavored tobacco product. The Vermont Senate passed S.B. 18 in late March, but it failed to pass a Vermont House committee.
