Prop. 31 Explained: Banning the sale of most flavored tobacco products in California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California voters will have the final say in a two-year-long battle between the tobacco industry and state lawmakers. 

In 2020, the legislature and governor approved a law that would ban the sale of candy and fruit-flavored tobacco products. But soon after, tobacco companies spent millions and launched the referendum process against the law, which put it on hold and landed the issue on the ballot this year.

    Oh the agony! This mean White Lightning Rum Crooks will disappear from the California bodegas. What will the vaqueros do?

    All flavors?
    Then there is an easy fix: create a flavor called "feces of San Francisco Streets", and declaring it illegal will be called racist.

    I used to work with a guy who dipped his Marlboros in MEK. He smoked them after they dried out.
    Strange fella- kept his gallbladder in a jar in his toolbox.
    Haven't heard from him since he moved out of state 25 years ago...

      Not as bad an idea as it sounds. MEK would certainly dissolve most of the shit the tobacco companies add to it, which would in theory make them safer to smoke.

      Still batshit crazy, of course, but perhaps not as quite as insane as it seems at first glance.

    I just voted NO on that Prop. 31. See if it pans out correctly. Voted NO on the rest of them, too.

    Hell, they ought to make bacon flavoured cigaretts, along with steak flavoured.

    Or just fuck the hell off and let us smoke whatever we want.
