Emily Rooney, host of Beat The Press, joined Boston Public Radio at the library on Friday to discuss the latest on Massachusetts' vaping ban. Massachusetts lawmakers on Thursday passed the nation’s toughest restrictions on the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products, including menthol cigarettes — the bill is now on Gov. Baker's desk.
"I'm not a big banner of anything. I realize these things appeal to kids, but it's either a legal product or it's not. Vaping products are out there. You want to make them illegal, make them illegal," said Rooney. "But you can't do this cherry picking and make the cherry flavored" products illegal while others are not, she added.
