Actually, the Hill bill isn\u2019t even a \u201chalf\u201d measure, given that cigarettes account for far more than half of all tobacco use, and the bill doesn\u2019t address their sales. In fact, it might lead to a boost in the cigarette business. If the Senate gives a final OK and the governor signs it, California smokers will no longer readily be able to buy e-cigarettes, even though they are 95 percent less dangerous than cigarettes. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900\">A flavor ban is essentially a sales ban on vaping given that nearly all vape liquids have a characterizing flavor.<\/span><\/strong> Hill doesn\u2019t want the company to even imply that these less dangerous products could help people stop smoking.
