While many American jurisdictions have imposed various restrictions on the sale of vaping products, Massachusetts became the first state to impose a full ban (MassLive, Mass.gov, FDA). When a ban would take effect is immaterial.

Question clarification

We have received an inquiry as to whether a renewal of Massachusetts' ban would count for this question. If the state of Massachusetts were to create a new ban while this question is open (e.g., make it permanent), then that particular instance would count toward resolution.
