The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products.
The ban, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2023, ends the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
The ordinance does not ban the possession or use of flavored tobacco for those aged 21 and older.

What are they going to do about their super Kools in the hood? 🤪
Super Kool = dip = PCP not sure what they call it these days ….
But flavored marijuana is acceptable. (Observation from a non-smoker.)
Too many laws.
Too many taxes.
Thereby creating a new black market and new black victims like Eric Garner who was choked to death by a cop because he resisted arrest for selling untaxed cigarettes in 2014 NYC.
It’s still in the urban dictionary lol 🤪
SuperKool https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=super%20Kool
except the marijuana flavored ones.
Sounds like a market opportunity for flavored hemp products.
Do those exist?
Will the state let them deprive the state of tax income?
L.A. City Council: Utopia and Nirvana are just one more ban away . . .
Nanny State PING!
Fiddling with their wangs while the city burns.
Business opportunity for the savvy (black market). /s
“The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products.”
50,000 homeless people. Decaying infrastructure. City dwellers and businesses fleeing to the ‘burbs and other states. Rampant drug and violent crime.
And this is the hill where they’re planting their flag?
LOL.
I predict all the kids hooked on e-cigs will just switch to smoking regular cigarettes again.
L.A. is already on the road to creating another Eric Garner.
C.S. Lewis expressed it beautifully:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
...This very kindness stings with intolerable insult.
To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
