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. However, some council members question whether this approach is business-friendly. New Licensing Classes and Fee Structure Would Limit Shop Growth The draft ordinance would categorize tobacco sellers into two classes with different regulations: Class 1: Retailers earning less than 50% of revenue from tobacco, like grocers and pharmacies.…

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. The bans represent the ASA’s latest effort to deter vaping brands from leveraging influential content creators to illegally promote e-cigarette usage among underage youth on social media. Both regulators and health groups view this priority crackdown as long overdue.

Multiple reports this week indicate the United Kingdom government plans to announce a prohibition on the retail sale of disposable electronic cigarettes across the country.
