AG Bonta, Enforce the California Flavored Tobacco Ban
Dear AG Bonta,
Since the implementation of the Flavored Tobacco Ban, the lack of enforcement surrounding this new law is fueling an illicit market for illegal disposable flavored vapes. Unaccountable foreign manufacturers are seizing on the opportunity to smuggle their illegal disposable flavored vapes into California due to lack of enforcement of the Ban, hurting the consumers the Flavored Tobacco Ban was intended to protect as well as retailers, most of which are small businesses. The state's failure to enforce the law on illegal disposable flavored vapes has left retailers in a difficult position. The absence of enforcement not only hamstrings consumer protection but also undermines fair competition in California's retail landscape. These small businesses, which form the backbone of our communities, are bearing the brunt of an unfair playing field. Additionally, this lack of enforcement has allowed the illicit market for illegal disposable flavored vapes to flourish, inflicting significant harm on both law-abiding retailers and unwitting consumers across the state. Attorney General Bonta: It’s time to bring fairness to the retail landscape. Without enforcement, the flavor ban is just smoke and mirrors. The state needs to crack down on these illegal disposable flavored vapes BEFORE they reach store shelves.
