Councilman Sykes Revises Proposed Ban on Vaping Products
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
Councilman Larry Sykes
held a press conference on Wednesday, November 27, to
announce that he has undergone a change of heart about a
proposed ban on vaping products after contacting numerous
business owners, state elected officials and health
officials.
As a result, Sykes will be
changing his proposed legislation on vaping products
Initially Sykes had
proposed a ban on all flavored e-cigarette products in
October. After his consultations, the councilman is calling
for a ban of all e-cigarette and vaping product sales at gas
stations, carry outs and grocery stores – establishments
whose primary focus is not vaping products
“What I am proposing will
allow adults over age 21 to have access to vaping products,
including flavored products, but reduce the likelihood that
youth will be successful in obtaining the products in the
city,” he said.
