A ruling on Monday, October 21 has upheld the statewide vaping ban. Brown and many other vape shop owners across Massachusetts sued Governor Baker in Federal Court to lift the ban sooner.
Many shop owners initially chose to stay open in the face of what is thought to be an unlawful declaration by Governor Baker. Kevin Brown, owner of Madvapes in Worcester, said he planned to stay open “until the jackboot thugs shut him down.” He added, “We know in the vaping world that it’s illegal THC cartridges that are causing this whole kerfuffle.”

Sam Sykes, who studies Graphic/Interactive Design, said she does feel stress during the semester and especially during finals. She feels pressured because she takes five classes each semester. She says she tries to keep her mind at ease by finding creative outlets such as drawing, watching YouTube videos, and reading.
