- US - Vermont: Governor Phil Scott has vetoed S 18, which would have banned the sale of flavoured tobacco products, including menthol, because he thinks it’s impractical considering the products could still be bought online or in neighbouring states. He further wrote: “To be clear, I too feel we have an obligation to protect our children, but it must be balanced in such a way that we honor the rights and freedoms of adults to make decisions about their individual lives.” The American Heart Association opposed the governor’s decision to veto the bill saying that “failing to pass this legislation means Big Tobacco continues to hook young people into a lifetime of addiction”.
