Manufacturer Juul Labs said in November it was halting U.S. sales of its best-selling, mint-flavored e-cigarettes.

However, it is still illegal for retailers to sell any tobacco product to any person under the age of 21, per the new federal law.

That bill was defeated on a 33-24 vote Wednesday.

In addition, the proposal would have subjected electronic cigarettes to state taxes.
