In November, California voters will decide whether they want to ban flavored tobacco products under Proposition 31.Proponents said this would stop young people from smoking e-cigarettes, which come in different flavors such as cotton candy, berry and cherry."In a one year period of time, high school usage of e-cigarettes and flavored tobacco went up 78% and middle school went up 48%. One in five high school kids, students, were smoking flavored tobacco," said Hill.
Edgar Hampton, a retired law enforcement officer, said the market "is always going to fill that gap." "If it comes from the black market or cartels or gangs or anything else like that, that's where it's going to come from," he said.Hampton says marijuana is a more serious issue for kids. "To decriminalize marijuana while making illegal tobacco products, it doesn't match up at all," he said."This does not prohibit the use of menthol or flavored tobacco products," said Hill. "It just prohibits the retail sales, but they can still buy it. They can buy it online and that's available for anyone after this becomes law."
