SAN DIEGO (Legal Newsline) – Retailers are upset with a new San Diego County ordinance that stops the selling of flavored smoking products.
The lawsuit filed June 19 by the Neighborhood Market Association and a vape shop questions an anti-vaping ordinance similar to one enacted in Los Angeles that is also subject to a court challenge.
San Diego is also imposing a one-year ban on the sale of electronic smoking devices in response to health concerns.
“The CDC affirmatively disclosed that source of the recent lung-related injuries are directly related to products containing THC sold in the black market and not nicotine-based products,” the lawsuit says.
“Yet, San Diego continues to seek the prohibition of all electronic smoking devices and flavored tobacco products.”
