The taste ban in the US: shortfills will be the solution?

Shortfills could be the solution to the ban on flavored e-juice. This method has been used in Europe for a few years since new rules limited the size of nicotine bottles.

The turmoil surrounding the sudden flavor ban in the state of Michigan took an unexpected turn today. This after it became clear that only flavored e-juice with nicotine is banned, writes the newspaper MetroTimes

Europeans and Swedish vejpers have become accustomed to buying flavored e-juice and nicotine separately - a so-called shortfill - since the introduction of the E-Cigarette Act in 2017. It is an established system and now this method is proposed for vejpers and vejpshoppers in the state of Michigan. The state was the first to ban the sale of flavored e-juice (followed by New York).

"The ban no longer applies to possession" writes MetroTimes. "Weighers can buy flavored juice and pour nicotine into it" 

According to the paper, the approach would still make the ban effective in keeping young people away from nicotine e-cigarettes, but allow adults to continue using them.

"It's not perfect, but better than total prohibition," says American Vaping Association President Greg Conley to MetroTimes. "At least now vejpers know there is a way. They are not forced to start smoking again"

The impact of this data on the situation of the New York flavor ban has not been disclosed.
