San Francisco becomes 1st major US city to ban e-cigarettes

"This is a decisive step to help prevent another generation of San Francisco children from becoming addicted to nicotine," City Attorney
Dennis Herrera said in a statement.

"The U.S. Surgeon General has warned that we’re in the midst of a youth vaping epidemic," Herrera added. "San Francisco is taking action
to protect our kids.This temporary moratorium wouldn’t be necessary if
the federal government had done its job. E-cigarettes are a product
that, by law, are not allowed on the market without FDA review. For some
reason, the FDA has so far refused to follow the law. If the federal
government is not going to act, San Francisco will."

Backers said they hope the legislation will curb underage use of e-cigarettes, but critics said the ban will make it harder for adults to
purchase an alternative to regular cigarettes.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
signed a law raising the legal age to buy e-cigarettes and tobacco in
his state to 21 on June 7, joining 13 other states including California.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Tim Kaine,
D-Va., also recently introduced a bill to raise the federal minimum age
to buy tobacco.

San Francisco is a city that celebrates its marijuana culture, but it appears deeply opposed to other vices. Last year, voters approved a
ban on the sale of flavored tobacco and in 2016, a tax on
sugar-sweetened drinks.

E-cigarette maker Juul Labs, which is based in San Francisco, said it is opposed to youth vaping. The company is working on a ballot
initiative that would regulate but not ban e-cigarette sales.
