PROP 31 Flavored tobacco products are marketed to young children, promoting lifelong habits.

The No on 31 campaign has spent $2.2 million compared to the $22 million Yes on 31 campaign in just one week. This is mainly because the beer industry is pouring in money to defeat the initiative. According to the Public Disclosure Commission website, the Beer Institute and the National Beer Wholesalers Association each contributed $1 million last week. Other funding sources for the No on 31 campaign include labor unions representing employees at state liquor stores.

Proposition 31 is backed by groups and politicians who want to stop smoking in California. Supporters of the measure include California Gov. Gavin Newsom, California Teachers Association, California Democratic Party, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, and the California Teachers Association.

California voters need to pass Proposition 31 to ban flavored tobacco products. This ban would protect kids from the harmful effects of tobacco use, including cancer. In addition, the law would prohibit retailers from selling flavored tobacco products and flavored tobacco products with flavor enhancers. Businesses that fail to comply would face a fine of $250.

The FDA acknowledges that ENDS products are marketed to young children. The FDA has received numerous comments regarding ENDS products, including concerns about youth access. As a result, the agency is evaluating the products for their risks to the population's health.

The cigarette industry has been trying to lure a new generation to tobacco by introducing flavored tobacco products. They know that younger users are more likely to become addicted to these products, which can lead to a lifetime of health problems. Health care leaders and prevention organizations are working to combat this trend by banning flavored tobacco products.

Public health organizations and dozens of scientific researchers have argued that candy-flavored tobacco products encourage youth to develop nicotine addiction. By banning these products, California can prevent countless kids from trying tobacco.

While the death rate related to smoking remains higher in some groups, it is lower for others. This regulation will reduce the health disparities based on group membership and inequitable distribution of resources.

Besides that, the FDA expects that this will lead to significant reductions in the initiation and progression of cigarette smoking among youth and young adults. It also hopes that this action will prevent cigarette-related diseases and future deaths.
