New Regulations on E-Cigarette Sales Kick In This Week
Via Necn.com
New regulations governing the sale of electronic cigarettes in Massachusetts take effect this coming week.
As of Friday, anyone under 18 years old will be barred from buying e-cigarettes.
The regulations also ban the promotional giveaway or free distribution of e-cigarettes and require that they be kept out of the reach of customers.
Attorney General Maura Healey said the regulations also ban most sales of e-cigarettes except through face-to-face purchases and not through vending machines except in adults-only establishments.
Other regulations requiring that the liquids and gels used in the devices be sold in child-resistant packaging won’t take effect until March 15, 2016.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that turn nicotine-containing liquid into vapor that is inhaled. Though nicotine can be addictive, e-cigarettes lack the chemicals and tars of burning tobacco.
