“Senate Bill 793, which would ban the sale of flavored tobacco products throughout California, on Monday passed the Assembly and now heads back to the Senate. The legislation purports to improve public health, but it actually would endanger the health of people who are trying to quit smoking. The bill prohibits retailers from selling tobacco or nicotine with a characterizing flavor. One of its obvious targets is vaping. It’s also wrong to ban adult-only products to keep them from teens. The state doesn’t ban adult alcohol or cannabis sales based on a similar argument. If SB793 becomes law, the Legislature would eliminate the availability of products that help smokers quit their deadly habit.”
