An Act repealing the state menthol ban

SD 882 repeals Massachusetts' ban on menthol-flavored tobacco products, including menthol e-cigarettes, which has prohibited their sale since 2019. If passed, this bill would allow retailers to sell these products again, directly affecting tobacco retailers, manufacturers, and consumers who currently cannot purchase menthol-flavored items. The bill also requires the Department of Revenue to study the tax revenue impact of this repeal compared to a prior tax law, reporting findings by July 2027. Other existing provisions, such as a 35 mg/mL nicotine content limit for e-cigarettes, remain unchanged.
