Supreme Court won’t block California flavored tobacco banWASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday refused a request from tobacco companies to stop California from enforcing a ban on flavored tobacco products that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in November.The ban was first passed by the state legislature two years ago but it never took effect after tobacco companies gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot.But nearly two-thirds of voters approved of banning the sale of everything from cotton-candy vaping juice to menthol cigarettes.They argued that the authority to ban flavored products rests with the federal Food and Drug Administration.FTX founder charged in scheme to defraud crypto investorsNew FTX CEO says lax oversight, bad decisions caused failureA slowdown in US inflation eases some pressure on householdsMusk's Twitter disbands its Trust and Safety advisory groupCalifornia responded that federal law comfortably allows state and local governments to decide which tobacco products are to be sold in their jurisdictions."
