A Massachusetts judge ruled that the state's four-month ban on the sale of all e-cigarettes and vaping products can remain in effect — but only for about a week
A Massachusetts judge ruled on Monday that the state's four-month ban on the sale of all e-cigarettes and vaping products can remain in effect — but only for about a week.
The ruling, made by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Douglas Wilkins, came after the Vapor Technology Association and vape store owners called for the ban to be lifted in a complaint against Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Massachusetts Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Monica Bharel.
As of last week, 1,479 lung injury cases associated with e-cigarette products had been identified in 49 states, the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands, according to the CDC. The CDC also has identified 33 vaping-related deaths in 24 states, including one in Massachusetts. More deaths are under investigation, according to the CDC.
