Since this issue was originally deferred, VTA's team has been meeting with the Law and Legislation Committee, as well as committee and council staff, to promote an alternative to a flavor ban. The alternative language was vetted by VTA’s Legislative Advisory Committee which is comprised of vape shop owners and state association leaders from across the U.S.



The solutions we're proposing focus on: Making sure the labeling and marketing of vapor products is not attractive to minors

Ensuring new licensees are not located within 600 feet of a youth-oriented facility

Increasing penalties on retailers who sell to minors

MOST IMPORTANTLY: REMOVING THE FLAVOR BAN! To this end, the hearing on March 19 before the Law and Legislation Committee is the most important - THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOU!



WHEN: March 19 at 1:00pm

WHERE: Sacramento City Hall, 915 I Street, Sacramento

ROOM: First Floor, Council Chambers

WHY: Defeat the flavor ban and support reasonable regulation



The next few weeks are critical. Depending on what happens on March 19, either our proposal (if approved) or the ban proposal will go to the full City Council for a vote on March 26, 2019.
