S 1364 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to repeal the state menthol ban

This bill seeks to repeal Massachusetts' existing ban on flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems, which would allow retailers to sell products containing characterizing flavors such as menthol, fruit, or mint. The legislation directly affects tobacco shops, online vendors, and consumers by removing the prohibition on these specific flavored products while leaving other restrictions on nicotine concentration and sales to minors intact. By amending state law, the bill effectively legalizes the sale of menthol and other flavored vapes that are currently restricted under current regulations.
