The Columbus, Ohio City Council voted Monday to prohibit sales of flavored vaping products and tobacco, making it one of just a few major cities between the east and west coasts to do so. The flavor ban passed unanimously (7-0), despite strong opposition from vaping businesses and other local retailers.The ordinance will take effect Jan. 1, 2024, assuming Mayor Andrew Ginther approves it. He has already indicated strong support for the law.

When San Francisco voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure banning the sale of flavored tobacco products in 2018, public health advocates celebrated. After all, tobacco use poses a significant threat to public health and health equity, and flavors are particularly attractive to youth. But according to a new study from the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH), that law may have had the opposite effect. Analyses found that, after the ban’s implementation, high school students’ odds of smoking conventional cigarettes doubled in San Francisco’s school district relative to trends in districts without the ban, even when adjusting for individual demographics and other tobacco policies.

The Netherlands will postpone its flavor ban for six months,according to the Dutch vape trade association Esigbond. The decision to delay implementation of the law, which had been scheduled to take effect July 1, was made by the Dutch cabinet (Council of Ministers).The flavor ban, approved last May by the cabinet, will only allow sales of tobacco-flavored vaping products. To enforce the restrictions, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) created a list of approved flavorings, which Esigbond says was based on the list produced by Health Canada for its planned flavor ban. Esigbond says the list included two flavorings—isophorone and pyridine—known to be carcinogenic.

Currently, most mainstream e-cigarettes use a vaporizer to turn liquids into steam, simulating the sensation of smoking. Because there is steam between the throughput, e-cigarette enthusiasts often refer to themselves as vapers.

New Zealand has unveiled new messures to help restrict vaping amongst young people.The measures range from limits on sales near schools to a ban on some disposable units, as it extends aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Although New Zealand has one of the lowest rates of adult smoking among the 38 nations in the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD),it has banned future generations from smoking in a push to be”smoke-free” by 2025. In 2022,the New Zealand government banned selling tobacco to anyone born on or after January 1,2009.

While public health advocates are frustrated as most PMTAs remain pending despite a September deadline set by the US District Court in Maryland, several anti-tobacco groups keep pressuring the agency to flat out deny applications for flavoured vaping products. With regards to the newly approved Logic Technology products, the FDA said that given that they are just tobacco flavoured, they may be less appealing to teens and could probably be of benefit to adult smokers seeking an alternative to traditional cigarettes. The agency added that their smoking cessation benefits to adults likely outweigh the risks to young people. Similarly, fifteen past Presidents of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) have recently published an article highlighting the importance of weighing the benefits of e-cigarettes against their risks, when debating and considering vape regulations.
