The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted to ban the sale of menthol and flavored tobacco products in unincorporated parts of the county.

The ordinance [...] passed unanimously. “Big Tobacco is in decline and desperate to groom lifelong addicts,” Canepa said. “They are trying to create a new generation of smokers by luring them with e-cigarettes and thousands of juice flavors like cotton candy and bubble gum that directly appeal to children.”
