tobacco

Some Northeast Ohio cities are working to either prohibit or limit the sale of certain tobacco products as the state legislature considers whether to issue its own ban.

The city currently has a smoking rate well above the national average which experts say leads to premature deaths and illness.

The city of Cleveland has proposed restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products, on the heels of Columbus, which recently passed their proposal banning sales in their city.

As Columbus contemplates becoming the first city in Ohio to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes, data is starting to come in from areas that have implemented bans themselves, including the entire county of Canada where researchers are finding a reduction in smoking.
