“State lawmakers are moving to ban the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and cigars. When California state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and his 29 co-authors introduced the bill last month, they said stopping youth vaping was the top goal. But Hill made it clear this law goes much further. “No flavored tobacco products, no exceptions, regardless of the device, the delivery system, or the product,” Hill said. Rather than implementing an unnecessary ban that would deliver numerous negative consequences, California’s lawmakers and public health officials should recognize youth smoking is already on the decline and setting record lows.”
