Flavor Ban Specifics
Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts have implemented a flavor ban. What exactly does that mean?
Maryland Vape Law
Menthol and tobacco vaping products are considered to be "unflavored" in Maryland, which means they are completely legal in that state. In addition, 0% nicotine options are permitted.
Massachusetts Law
Massachusetts only allows tobacco and 0% nicotine vaporizers in their state. This gives vapers the chance to enjoy their favorite flavors with zero nicotine while still using nicotine-infused tobacco vapes.
New Jersey & Rhode Island
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, are more strict than Maryland and only allow tobacco-flavored vapes.
Flavor Ban Solution
If you are in New Jersey or another state that outlawed fruity and candy e-juice options, using a non-flavored vape is the way to go.
Online Vape Sales Restricted
New York, Georgia and others have completely banned the sale of online e-cigarettes - Explore great alternatives if you are in a vapor-restricted area.
