The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors are going to introduce a full flavor ban (including menthol, cigars, small, cigars, chewing tobacco and vapor products). Once they pass it, the Board will urge EVERY CITY in the County to adopt a similar ban.
If you are a vaper, vapor retailer, or manufacturer in any of the below-listed areas we will want to hear from you ASAP so we can start rallying and organizing opposition to preserve the availability of flavored vapor products.
As you can read from a piece that was just published, titled "Supervisor hits hold button on flavored cigarette ban" the County of San Mateo has temporarily postponed the agenda item on the prohibition of the sales of flavored tobacco, including vapor products and electronic cigarettes.
On Tuesday the 23rd of January 2018 at 9:00AM the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors is looking to introduce an ordinance to prohibit the sale or offer for sale of flavored tobacco products and prohibit pharmacies from selling or offering for sale any tobacco products, and amending Section 4.96.30 of Chapter 4.96 to clarify the definition of “tobacco products”, and waive the reading of the ordinance in its entirety.
