VAPING NEWS: COLORADO [40% Vape Tax To Pay For School & City Budget Shortfalls]
“The Basalt Town Council, on Tuesday night, showed its support for investing a significant portion of its tobacco tax dollars into Basalt Elementary School and the Aspen Hope Center to further bolster the community’s mental health services. In 2018, Basalt voters overwhelmingly approved a tobacco tax question that went onto levy an additional $2 per pack of cigarettes purchased as well as a 40% tax on all other tobacco products sold in town. However, in accordance with the Colorado Taxpayer Bill of Rights, the town had to briefly stop collecting the revenue generated from the tobacco tax after underestimating how much it would bring in during its first year of collection. Subsequently, in 2019, the town only collected $29,162 in tobacco tax revenue. No longer bound by TABOR’s restrictions, the town has projected that by the end of 2020 it will have collected $480,000 in tobacco tax.”

VAPING NEWS: FRANCE [Study Finds E-cigs Are Not A Gateway To Tobacco]
“A study led by Stéphane Legleye from the Faculté de Médecine at the Université Paris‐Sud has not been able to find evidence of a teen gateway from vaping into smoking. She worked alongside Henri‐Jean Aubin, Bruno Falissard, François Beck, and Stanislas Spilka and found that vaping worked to keep kids away from smoking initiation. They looked at data from 24111 French adolescents aged 17-18.5 years. All these individuals self-reported previously experimenting with either e‐cigarettes or tobacco. The study mirrors findings from France in 2019, where the authors concluded: “Our results found no evidence of an increased risk of transitioning to daily smoking at 17 among ever-smokers who also experimented with e-cigarettes.”

VAPING NEWS: QUEBEC, CANADA [Flavour Ban & Nic Cap]
“Quebec intends to ban the sale of flavoured vaping cartridges and limit their nicotine content after a public health report warned of a major increase in youth vaping in the province. Dubé said the health ministry intends to limit nicotine concentration to 20 mg/mL. One cigarette, for comparison, contains about 8 mg of nicotine.”
BILL TARLING — Quebec continues to just accept the bogus or debunked fraudulent anti-vaping studies, and refuses to acknowledge true harm reduction scientific studies. They also continue to conflate e-liquid product vaping with other alternative market versions, as well as with smoking in order to duped the public into supporting their anti-vaping agenda.

VAPING NEWS: SAN DIEGO [Flavor Ban Enforcement]
“After several revisions and two months of debate, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a tobacco retail license ordinance intended to reduce usage by minors and hold retailers more accountable. The measure allows the county to enforce minimum age laws and a previously adopted ban on flavored tobacco products; and prohibits the sale of tobacco products at pharmacies. The vote was 4-1 in favor of the ordinance, with outgoing Supervisor Kristin Gaspar opposed. The ordinance — which will take effect on July 1 and applies only to unincorporated areas within the county — does not affect hookah tobacco use. Unlike previous meetings, there was little discussion among the supervisors before the final vote.”

VAPING NEWS: SOMERVILLE, NEW JERSEY [Plaza Event Ban]
“In a compromise solution, the borough council has introduced an ordinance that bans smoking in the Division Street pedestrian plaza only during public events. Last month the council tabled an ordinance that would have prohibited smoking entirely in the plaza, which has become a centerpiece for the county seat’s downtown area. The new ordinance would only place a temporary ban on smoking during events sponsored either by the borough or the Downtown Somerville Alliance. In 2018, New Jersey adopted a law prohibiting smoking or vaping on any boardwalk in the state, with fines up to $250 and $1,000 on the third offense. Towns, however, can designate areas along the boardwalk where smoking will be permitted.”

VAPING NEWS: SAN FRANCISCO [Proposed Apartment Ban Sent Back For Refining]
“In a second vote, San Francisco supervisors Tuesday made the unusual move to send back proposed legislation that would ban tobacco smoking multi-unit housing buildings. Last week, supervisors voted 10-1 in the first reading of the legislation, with Supervisor Dean Preston in dissent. In the second vote, supervisors voted 6-5 in favor of sending the proposal back to the board’s committee so the legislation can be refined and the public can weigh in. Supervisors Catherine Stefani, Ahsha Safai, Sandra Lee Fewer, Rafael Mandelman and board President Norman Yee voted in dissent. Supervisor Aaron Peskin said he is looking to fix, not scrap, the legislation in committee.”
NOTE: Using E-liquid Vaping Products [EVP] is included in the proposed ban
