Two legal challenges to Michigan’s ban on flavored nicotine-based vaping products have been rebuffed – for now.
A lawsuit brought in Houghton County Circuit Court last week by 906 Vapor owner Mark Slis has been transferred to the Michigan Court of Claims. There, Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens declined to issue a temporary restraining order yesterday, but did schedule a hearing for today.
