California laws

[jefe1037]

The Supreme Court just upheld the flavored tobacco ban (targeting vapes but looping menthol cigarettes in as well). Does this effect pipe tobacco?

If so, can you still buy from out of state?

I’m 3,000 miles away, but I am curious!

Doing more reading: California is the 5th state to do so after Rhode Island, NY, NJ and Mass. Do we need to make a Smokey and the Bandit run with a truck full of Aromatics to the Northeast?

That’s a great question and I am curious to learn more about this, so I am putting this post on my watchlist.

As we know, the tobacco police has been talking about legislative changes regarding the sells and transportation of tobacco and raising taxes. Taxes, taxes, taxes.....ugh!

It appears that “loose leaf tobacco” is excepted. I couldn’t find the exact wording. The “goal” of the laws is to keep young people from starting to use tobacco/nicotine vapes. I don’t hate that.

That being said, the offer for a bandit run to anyone that can’t get what they want will always stand!

Aros are banned in MA. Ernie at WCC only sells his aromatics out of state but cannot sell in-state. He has expressed that either CA or MA will be the first to ban all tobacco in the next 10 years.
