New Virginia vaping enforcement may cause former vapers to return to cigarette smoking.Summary
The Blue Ridge Cigarette Tax Board met to discuss how stricter enforcement of Virginia's vaping laws might impact cigarette sales. Following the launch of a new enforcement unit by Attorney General Jay Jones, officials are monitoring whether increased regulation of nicotine and THC products will decrease vaping popularity and potentially drive consumers back to traditional cigarettes.
David Blount of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission noted that while cigarette smoking has been on a general decline, the new regulations could reverse recent trends. Additionally, the board announced that distributor registration for cigarette companies will open in mid-November.
