New Jersey Vape Flavor Ban Explained
First and foremost, if you are reading this blog you are probably wondering "What vape products are available for purchase in New Jersey?". Due to the recent legislation that took effect on 4/21/20, only tobacco flavored eJuice, tobacco vape pods and tobacco disposable vapes and cartridges are allowed to be shipped to the state of New Jersey. All hardware that contains no flavoring is also allowed to be shipped. Therefore, all customers can still purchase Mi-Pod kits and pods, as well as the best tobacco flavored e-Liquids.
Vape Flavor Bans
You would think that New Jersey would have their hands full with other more pressing issues but the Mayor Bloomberg funded quest to eliminate the vaping flavors that adults prefer continues to pick up speed.
As of April 20, 2020, New Jersey will only permit the sale of tobacco flavored vaping products. Rhode Island, New York and other states have similar legislation as well. The minority of adult vapers who prefer tobacco flavored eJuice will not be initially impacted by this ban but this law will eventually impact their access to tobacco vape juice selections by devastating brick and mortar vape shops in their area.
The bright and complex flavors that adult vapers prefer are under siege. A study conducted by Dr. Farsalino that surveyed 69,000 adult vapers found that a majority of adult vapers prefer flavored vape juice.
But this research hardly matters when Bloomberg’s millions have spread a false narrative far and wide. At the end of the day, adults looking for their eCig flavor of choice, smokers considering making the switch to vaping and vapers funneled back onto cigarettes after losing their preferred eJuice flavor are the real losers.
Strict eCig Laws Punish Marginalized Groups
This is another example of how strict eCig laws punish marginalized groups. Alcohol kills 4,300 minors and sends 130,000 to the emergency room each year according to the CDC.
The wealthiest Americans imbibe more than any other group but they have largely given up smoking. This is why they are so willing to suppress eJuice flavors that the majority of adult vapers prefer.
