PHOENIX — Calls for a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products in Phoenix keep growing, while some smoke shop owners worry about how it would affect their businesses.
The school boards for Roosevelt Elementary, Osborn, Tempe Union, and Tolleson Union have endorsed a campaign that seeks to pass a city ordinance to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, in Phoenix.
Members from other schools also have individually voiced their support and joined the Flavors Hook Kids Phoenix Coalition, which is advocating for the passage of the city ordinance.
“We’re just looking to have the cleanest, the healthiest communities possible,” Maricopa County School Superintendent Steve Watson, who’s among the list of supporters, told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
