However, Simsbury’s proposal covers substantially more ground by encompassing all municipal spaces. The public will have a chance to share feedback at an upcoming hearing before officials decide whether to approve the extensive ban.…
The Peoria, IL City Council recently reviewed an initial proposal to regulate the number of tobacco and vape retailers operating within city limits through a new two-tiered licensing structure. The suggested policy would impose higher fees and license caps on stores focused purely on tobacco sales in hopes of controlling rapid proliferation.

The United Kingdom’s advertising regulator recently banned four video advertisements promoting vaping products that appeared on the social media platform TikTok. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the promotions violated established rules prohibiting the marketing of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes on social channels without proper medicinal licensing.

Both regulators and health groups view this priority crackdown as long overdue.
