Also, what the Oregon legislature does going forward may well hinge on whether or not they get their vape tax passed by voters in November. Sadly, this may be the only way to back them off entirely – we all know how much government loves our dollars. Also, it looks like they may require vape shops to be specially licensed to operate. That we can deal with, as long as they are reasonable about it.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.statesmanjournal.com\/story\/news\/2020\/02\/13\/oregon-senate-vote-bill-ban-flavored-vaping-tobacco-products\/4741449002\/?fbclid=IwAR3zoLfMkZoXCi_9LKapK5B54GrJVnTT2Df9pJGsp0-7LUzYWtOZO0qYuNc<\/a><\/p>\n A Major Study That Fueled National Vape Panic Has Been Retracted<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.vice.com\/amp\/en_us\/article\/v74zny\/a-major-study-that-fueled-national-vape-panic-has-been-retracted?__twitter_impression=true&fbclid=IwAR3xeAIU458ePLdd2oiOGE2XeVrIULe6SewgkEtZw2tbwulmbJtNdZXO3KI<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/oregon.granicus.com\/MediaPlayer.php?clip_id=27867&fbclid=IwAR0imwFJSVVQqoH-PpojIQ4yaA7ft-sXBU8_eMCdGvTo_8_COePZNxPm0bE<\/a><\/p>\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/h1>\n

(Feb. 9, 2023) Flavor ban proposed for Oregon. AGAIN.<\/strong> HB 3090 sponsors pretend their FLAVOR BAN “will protect kids from the evil genius of hiding the tarry, noxious taste of ignited tobacco,” but THEIR REAL TARGET is low risk flavored vapes, which contain no tobacco and are NOT ignited.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
Because of this, there is a new “Call to Action” from Oregon CASAA.org (Consumer Advocates for Smokefree Alternatives Association).
