The latest tobacco ban proposal by Cleveland city leaders would include a tobacco retail license and the halt of all flavored tobacco product sales, including menthol cigarettes.
CLEVELAND — Cleveland Tobacco businesses said they are ready to lawyer up if city council passes a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products. Customers are also asking city leaders to leave the decision up to voters.
“Cleveland has the life expectancy for the residents is 10 to12 years shorter than our in the entering suburbs,” said David Margolius, Director of Public Health City of Cleveland. All Coast Distributions owns six Planet of the Vapes locations in the Cleveland area. Regional Director of Marketing Kari Pearson said if the ban passes, it could cost them 50% of their total revenue and could cost their employees their jobs.
The proposal could be heard by Cleveland City Council’s Health Committee around April to institute the policy by the end of the year. Burns said she will drive as far as 30 minutes to get tobacco products if it goes into effect.
