    Flavored tobacco used to only target minorities so it was OK. There are documentaries about this showing how much more flavored tobacco was advertised in lower socio-economic areas.

    Once children started vaping the CA govt stepped in.

    If you oppose the ban I have to assume because you don’t know where to get menthol cigs anymore. I live in Oakland and can still find Newports. I quite smoking them over 25 years ago but know more than one place that sells them.

    edit - this thread is about age verification. not sure why you think tobacco bans are remotely close.

      I don’t smoke period so I don’t mind it. I found the reasoning banning it was stupid, because the boomer voting base didn’t understand the reason for the Prop being drawn up.

      Talking about a dumb law being passed, so I talked about a dumb law being passed. I said that a state of Democrat voters and Democrat Assembly members doesn’t mean they always pass the best/logical bills. Better than if the state was ran by Republicans, but so is every state.
