Sonoma Becomes The First US City To Ban E-liquid Flavours

[beckdg]

(how would they even enforce such a ban)

Well

In my mystery fruit cocktail I just added cherry, passion fruit and watermelon. @6% total flavoring, it's still VERY obviously a fruity flavor on exhale.

I would assume someone would have to smell it unless the liquid in your tank is dark.

Unless they're going to confiscate your juice and have a spectrum analysis done on it, I don't think a statement of "it smelled fruity" would hold up in court. You could just use the defense that it wasn't your vape they was smelling, it was your perfume.

The fact that a citizen should have to even think about whether their juice is 'legal' or not is disturbing. And having to sneak off to buy that product in another jurisdiction is just..................

The ban would be for sales, they wouldn't bother individuals.

I'm curious how they would even enforce such a ban without singling out vape shops, which would be open for a lawsuit.
They way it's written, menthol cigarettes are now illegal to sell, as well as flavored cigars.
This will get interesting, as it will definitely get challenged.

The final vote is on the 24th, so I'm not sure how anything has been banned... Perhaps someone can post a link to the proposed ordinance...

Not surprising. In the emerald triangle, you can have everything except the dreaded Nicotine.
Liberalism is a dis-ease.

Flavored wine may be banned next..

There have been numerous brands and types of flavored wine which have been taken off the market...

I think I would say it was my fart

Doesn't work that way with other stuff. Simple to train a cop and certify him to know the difference between pg, vg, nic base and the only constituent that smells like... A flavor... flavoring.

Confiscating the tank, the bottle or the atty would do just fine.

They still sell that stuff in the flat bottle so kids can shoplift it easier!

Thanks for the link, I especially like ....

Adults can do what they want. The purpose of this is to make some of these products less attractive for kids,” Councilwoman Madolyn Agrimonti said.

Adults can't do what they want if you have banned the products for adults to purchase, the law was already there for no under 18's and you just put laws on top of existing laws instead of enforcing the first one.
Madolyn Agrimonti, you are barking mad with about as much common sense as him >

They didn't change anything if existing businesses can continue to sell the product except to do a huge favor for them.

 

[YoursTruli]

So they are not banning flavors they are banning the sales of ecigarettes... period...

"After months of discussion, council members Monday approved a measure that will not only prohibit new businesses from selling cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and other products, but also ban the sale of e-cigarettes, cheap cigars and most flavored tobacco in town."

and it does look like there was some (applause) who put on their boots....

"The council heard from about 20 people on the issue Monday. Several were tobacco and e-cigarette retailers and came from all over the county and Northern California. They argued it was unfair to bundle e-cigarettes with other tobacco products and restrict their sale in town. However, council members said they wanted those devices off store shelves because of their growing popularity among children."

a year ago they did this....

I live in CA, this is very sad to hear. California has always (or is now) been a "pre-cursor" to the rest of the nation. We are a "blue" state, and while the leaders of this nation are "blue", the nation will follow California's lead. I can't even use lead bullets to hunt anymore! What the eff is that? It's California, friends. Attack the good people to stop the bad people. Great way of doing things, lol.
Oh, this is not a political thing for me, I am not trying to bring in politics(not in depth) so please nobody be mad or offended. But CA and NY are getting more and more ridiculous with their laws. I know I'll be moving away in the future, as will many good people. Because of laws like this. It's a shame, cus when it comes down to it, it's all about the money. Our health and lives will be jeopardized for BT's money. But what's new I guess....
