Yost says sale of non-FDA approved flavored vapes violates state consumer protection laws.
Varieties of disposable flavored electronic cigarette devices manufactured by EB Design, formerly known as Elf Bar, are displayed at a store in Pinecrest, Fla., Monday, June 26, 2023. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed lawsuits Tuesday against three tobacco shops around the state, accusing them of selling illegal tobacco vapes with flavors like strawberry kiwi and double peach..
In each of the cases, a state investigator bought illegal vape products “undercover.” That includes a strawberry kiwi EBCreate vape from Orrville Tobacco and Vape Shop; a double peach Mr. Fog Max Air and a strawberry-banana EBCreate from the Cincinnati-area Elevate Smoke; and a Lost Mary OS5000 in blueberry-raspberry-gami and a “strawmelon” flavored Breeze Smoke from Central Tobacco and Stuff near Columbus.
A Yost spokeswoman didn’t respond when asked why these three particular stores were chosen. The state’s action comes as the FDA struggles to rein in a flood of illegal vapes, widely available at tobacco shops and gas stations.last year that over 9,000 different kinds of electronic cigarettes were sold in the U.S., mostly unauthorized and disposable vapes from China. The only vapes allowed for sale by the FDA come in tobacco and menthol flavors.
