The Missoula City Council made that decision Monday night after some legal questions arose. The proposed ordinance would ban the sale of all menthol, candy and mint flavored tobacco, smokeless tobacco and e-cigarette products. Missoula took up the idea after the state health department earlier this year offered and then pulled back a more limited state-wide proposal on banning flavored e-cigarette products. Opponents say the ordinance would devastate local retailers, who point out they already only sell to adults over the age of 21. Critics also note that Montana&#8217;s &#8220;Youth Access to Tobacco Products Control Act&#8221; prohibits local governments from making regulations more stringent than those already imposed by the state. That specific interpretation is echoed by Missoula\u2019s city attorney.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ypradio.org\/government\/2020-10-28\/missoula-city-council-will-re-examine-flavored-tobacco-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Missoula City Council Will Re-Examine Flavored Tobacco Ban<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20MISSOULA%2C%20MONTANA%20%5BFlavor%20Ban%20Considerations%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A proposal to ban the sale of all flavored tobacco products in Missoula goes back to committee for some fine-tuning.
