Governor Raimondo bans sale of flavored e-cigarettes

After a jaw dropping zero e-cigarette related illnesses in Rhode Island and a staggering zero e-cigarette related deaths, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo on Wednesday signed an executive order to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes in Rhode Island.

Meanwhile, normal cigarettes are responsible for the deaths of 1,800 Rhode Islanders each year with annual heath care care costs of $640 million are still available and will not be banned.

Smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined.

The e-cigarette black market is going to be fun!
