Pennsylvania is defending its flavored e-cigarette restrictions in federal court, citing state authority to regulate nicotine products.Summary
Pennsylvania is urging a federal court to allow the enforcement of its statewide restrictions on most flavored electronic cigarettes. The state argues that such laws are consistent with the authority of states to regulate tobacco and nicotine products.
In recent court filings, the commonwealth asserted that plaintiffs are unlikely to succeed in their constitutional claims. Pennsylvania cited multiple appellate decisions that have upheld similar restrictions against challenges involving equal protection, due process, and the Commerce Clause.
