Stories Related to Flavored Tobacco Bans Will Take Effect In 2 Maine Communities This Week

On June 1, bans on sales of all flavored tobacco products will go into effect in Brunswick and Portland. The municipalities passed their measures earlier this year. The bans faced pushback from local businesses, but their passage was celebrated by public health experts, who warn that products such as flavored e-cigarettes are leading more young adults to become addicted to tobacco. Bangor was the first city in Maine to pass a local ban.
