Summary
NEW: California has banned flavored tobacco.#SB793 is a victory for public health in CA. Thank you to Sen. Hill for his leadership, and all the doctors, dentists, and public health advocates who persevered to make this happen.https://t.co/0lcP3be3FuSenator Hill previously published a fact sheet on the bill that claims "flavored tobacco products are a gateway to harder nicotine use." The sheet cited information from the California Department of Public Health, which in a 2019 report highlighted that "tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of over 480,000 deaths annually in the United States." The report also found that more than five million youth used e-cigarettes in 2019, and that more than 80% began doing so because of flavored products.
