California’s Senate Bill 793 Takes Aim at Flavored Tobacco Products

[homesteader]

Sounds like it time to cellar deep on your favorite aromatics if you live in California. Probably a good idea for the rest of us too.

"Senate Bill 793 would prohibit a tobacco retailer and his or her employees from selling, offering for sale, or pressing with the intent to sell or offer for sale, a flavored tobacco product or a tobacco product flavor enhancer. Under this bill, it would be an infraction punishable by a fine of $250 per violation should a retailer go against this law. "

I understand there are bills pending on impermissible colors of neckties, forbidden flavors of sundaes, certain styles of underwear, illegal material for socks, statutes against scratching yourself in public, regulatory auditions for musicians who may not have talent, etiquette required of small children, laws forbidding the teaching of Latin to dogs, mandatory recycling of finger and toenail clippings, censorship of greeting cards, and so much more. O'er the land of the free. Oh, and flavored tobacco, but we knew that one.

SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS THAT ALLOW A WOOL/COTTON BLENDED SOCK!!!!???? WHERE IS THE NEED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THAT'S A MILITARY SOCK AND YOU KNOW IT AND NO CIVILIAN NEEDS ONE.

GO BACK TO SLEEP PEOPLE>>>> NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

I am wondering now if all pipe tobacco may be impacted. Even the majority of non-aromatics use some type of casing, often something containing sugar. Does that count as an added flavor? If so that wipes out......well, damn near all of it, aromatic or otherwise.

Haha says the guy from Illinois. Nah Im just messing with you.. we have Atlanta, the stupid is creeping in from all sides.

I can almost guarantee the passage of this bill. The Democratic party holds a super majority in both the house and the assembly and they have been able to push through every piece of legislation that doesn't carry a high price tag. Every time I have contacted my rep, Ami Bera, about tobacco-related issues and how their legislation is taking away choice from adults, I've been dismissed with the "thanks for sharing your valued opinion with me but this is for the kids" line.

I get the irony. I am in the same boat but I do have to say there are basically 2 illinois, Chicago and the rest of the state

Same thing in GA. Atlanta makes laws for Atlanta.. then they apply them to my town of 900.. its a problem, in states like ours.

When the hypocrisy is so blatant.. it just seems like the whole thing is coming unraveled.

Chicago is the gun-free zone, right?

You can tell because that's where all the shootings are.

Maybe they'll make weed flavored pipe tobacco or tobacco flavored weed. But the children, what about the children...

This state is incredible. We have the Coronavirus and riots, and meanwhile they’re trying to pass background checks for gun parts and a flavored tobacco ban. It’s never enough for them. They come up with the most random ideas every year.

 

[litup]

All this restriction on adults while the city of San Francisco delivers weed, alcohol, and methadone to the homeless people they are putting up in hotels.

 

[shanez]

laws forbidding the teaching of Latin to dogs,

Forget everything else in this thread. If your dog starts speaking Latin you've legitimately got some real trouble.

Thanks @mso489 ! That made me laugh out loud for real.

California’s attorney general also just prohibited travel of state employees to Idaho if they are using public funds. Why? Because Idaho passed a law saying that only girls can play in girls’ sports. It’s so hilarious yet so sad how far we’ve fallen as a society.
