Rhode Island H8254 would classify menthol as a flavored electronic nicotine-delivery system product.

Rhode Island H8254 amends the definition of "flavored electronic nicotine-delivery system product" to include menthol. This change prohibits the sale or offer for sale of these products within the state, except for those sold by compassion centers and licensed cultivators, who are exempt unless the products contain tobacco or nicotine. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
