“A bill that aims to curb access to flavored tobacco products cleared a hurdle last week when it passed out of an appropriations committee. The bill, supported by both North Coast lawmakers, would ban the sale of “a flavored tobacco product or a tobacco product flavor enhancer.” Each violation of the bill would result in a $250 fine. The bill addresses a range of flavored tobacco, including menthol, which is often exempted in legislation. In this case, the flavors include “any fruit, chocolate, vanilla, honey, candy, cocoa, dessert, alcoholic beverage, menthol, mint, wintergreen, herb, or spice.” North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire, one of the senators who introduced the bill, did not respond to a request for comment by the publishing deadline.”
