The ordinance does not ban the possession or use of flavored tobacco for people over the age of 21, and also includes an exception for hookah lounges that meet certain conditions.
A ban on the sale of flavored tobacco in Los Angeles was signed into law by Mayor Eric Garcetti Monday.
"Today the city of Los Angeles became the largest city in the United States to adopt an ordinance restricting the sale of flavored tobacco — including menthol. This tremendous step in public health will save lives and will pave the way for other cities across the country to prioritize health above Big Tobacco profits," Harold Wimmer, president and CEO of the American Lung Association, said in a statement.
