And in California, cannabis vape sales dropped 20% between August and September, when sales totaled $66 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those figures do not include the sales of illicit cannabis vaping products, which the federal government says are mainly to blame for the vape-related lung illness. In California, experts estimate that market is still larger than the legal market because of the challenges to enter the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, none of the cases in California of vaping illness have been linked to legal marijuana shops, according to the state Bureau of Cannabis Control.

The year before, Gray received $8,000 and the committee received $25,000. In total, since 2014, Gray has received more than $200,000 from Juul, RJ Reynolds and other companies.

It originally would have restricted candy and fruit flavors but not mint or menthol, but those provisions were struck from the bill in previous committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Gray intends to amend the bill to include a tax on pods of nicotine used in e-cigarettes to match how packs of cigarettes are taxed, at about $2.87 a box, according to his legislative director, Adam Capper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Shifting Attention to Cannabis Vaping\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Gray has argued for focusing attention on what he has characterized as a critical but under-emphasized problem: cannabis vaping.
