California’s Ban On Flavored Tobacco Sales Suspended As Big Tobacco Funds Drive To Repeal Law

Big Tobacco is spending big bucks fighting back against lawmakers in the Golden State.

The Los Angeles Times reports, “a California law banning the sale of flavored tobacco products was placed on hold Friday after state officials said a referendum by the tobacco industry qualified for the November 2022 ballot.” According to the Times, “the announcement means the law approved last year by the Legislature and signed by the governor is suspended until California voters decide late next year whether to affirm or repeal the ban.”
