The news item I read stated that they had around twice the number of signatures needed for the initiative to qualify.
Watching little girls panties, even for lyrics of that time, is and was a bit perverted. But, in my senior literature class back in the 70s we were all too busy staring at Ms. Music’s gold colored bra easily seen through her unbuttoned purple blouse as she read the lyrics for us to respond to. She was open about dating high school boys so long as they had graduated. We all wanted to graduate.
Of course, any threads on California will eventually end up taking a hallucinogenic twist.
And, every thread about Alabama seems to go to sleeping with our sisters. You guys are just jealous, ha ha.
Sorry -- you are correct. It has qualified. I didn't realize it was so far along. (There are a bunch of initiatives showing up lately; it has been in the works far longer.)
So, to be clear: In November 2022, CA voters will decide whether to overturn the ban on flavored tobacco.
An interesting thing I am seeing: A YES vote would uphold the ban; a NO vote would overturn it. (That runs counter to how I'd imagine it -- I would think an initiative to overturn something would be Yes to do that. Probably they are counting on its being easier to get people to vote NO.)
When I want to get my friends who are from Alabama's goat, I always remind them that when God created heaven, he had Mississippi in mind.
The same thing happened when gay marriage was on the ballot in Ca. Yes meant no and No meant yes and that's how it didn't pass the first time.
Legalese... votes in Alabama are always so confusing also. Vote no, if you want us to implement some sort of new plan, and if you want us to just do nothing, vote yes. All of us end up standing there going, "yes means no, and no mean yes," in our minds at the polls.
On this yes/no-no/yes question, the initiative is giving CA voters the say BEFORE the ban (which was approved by the Legislature and Governor a year ago) goes into effect -- so a Yes means "continue with the ban as planned" and a No means "overturn the decision on the ban by elected officials."
It is also going to be a very crowded ballot, as things are shaping up now. (That includes a few things CA already has voted on -- we tend to have ballot measures over and over.)

At least we have the initiative process, so the voters can overturn something approved in the assembly, or promote legislation that politicos are afraid to touch. Hardwired into the State's Constitution, it provides some remedy to governmental absolutism and corruption. In only 15 states do citizens have this right to change or initiate laws at a state level. 10 other States have more limited versions and the other half of the country has bupkis.
Until we've seen your sisters...
ME = Maine. I didn't know about Utah, though. I think Massachusetts also has some restrictions. Who the hell can even keep track anymore?
South Dakota is one too.
And I believe Massachusetts has a flavored tobacco ban. If I recall correctly, you can only buy at licensed “tobacco bars” and have to consume it there. Can’t take it home with you.
So no online orders of Aromatics for the bean eaters
Funny how most propositions are presented as “To be used for abatement and health”; yet very little is actually used towards those goals.
I know in my state of Illinois; less than 12% is put towards Abatement or cessation programs. The rest goes into largesse.
If it’s “for the children”; you can bet it’s anything but.

Illinois took in 1.15 Billion in tobacco revenues, and spent 17 Million on Tobacco Abatement or Cessation programs.
California 2.8 Billion, and spent 231 Million on A/C
Massachusetts 794 Million, 5.1 million spent on A/C
Washington 522 Million, spent 7.1
It’s painfully obvious the “save the children” legislation is more “get rich quick”.
Now some of the taxes do fund worthwhile programs like CHIP; so next time a nicotine Nazi harasses you, tell them you’re doing your part helping to insure children that otherwise would go uninsured. Tell them you’re smoking “for the children”?
