During Wednesday\u2019s public safety subcommittee meeting, Swati Rawani, an attorney for Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, said at least 300 localities have placed restrictions on the sale of flavored tobacco and so far they\u2019ve survived all court challenges. \u201cThus, the City Council has clear authority under federal law to restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products and does not need to wait for either the state or federal action in order to ban such products,\u201d she said. Opponents said federal law already bans tobacco sales to anyone under 21 and they argue a ban on flavored tobacco could lead to an underground market where no one regulates how the products are made. The subcommittee directed staff to research enforcement options, along with bills being proposed at the state Legislature and report back to the group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kjzz.org\/content\/1650455\/phoenix-weighs-enforcement-state-legislation-tobacco-debate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phoenix Weighs Enforcement, State Legislation In Tobacco Debate<\/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%20PHOENIX%2C%20ARIZONA%20%5BFlavor%20Ban%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;Before Phoenix leaders take action on a request to ban flavored tobacco, they want more information about enforcement and possible state legislation.
