A bill recently voted on by the San Diego City Council banning flavoured vapes, has been signed into law.
The SAAFE Act was introduced by Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, and bans flavoured vaping and tobacco products with the exception of premium flavoured cigars, flavoured loose-leaf tobacco, and hookah.
Also exempt are unflavoured or tobacco flavoured e- cigarettes as well as FDA-approved cessation devices.
Last week, mayor Todd Gloria signed the ban into law. “This new law is going to save lives and safeguard children’s health,” said von Wilpert. “Our new partnership with San Diego schools will empower parents with vital health resources so we do everything possible to prevent Big Tobacco from hooking our children and hijacking their futures.”
