South Portland, USA (WGME) - The South Portland City Council is expected to discuss the discontinuation of sales of flavored tobacco products in a workshop on Tuesday.
Portland, Brunswick, and Bangor have banned the sale of flavored tobacco products.
BJ McCollister, the manager of Flavors Hook Kids Maine, stated that there is concrete evidence suggesting that flavored tobacco products are marketed towards young people with the aim of cultivating a new generation of smokers. "These tobacco companies' strategies are simply not okay," he said. "Three communities in Maine and almost two-thirds of likely voters have expressed their support and have stated that the health and safety of our children is more important than tobacco profits. We hope to see the same results in South Portland.
The Maine-based company that specializes in children's fishing equipment expects to hold a city council vote on the matter in the next few weeks.
