US judge upholds vaping ban amid flaws

A judge in Massachusetts ruled on Monday that the state's temporary ban on sales of vaping products can remain in place, but said there are legal flaws in the ban that must be addressed.

Owners of vape shops fought the ban, saying they will lose significant business, and some were forced to close.

Governor Charlie Baker announced the ban in September, declaring a public health emergency and ordering a four-month halt on sales of all vaping products.
