According to new research, California's flavored to***co law caused a substantial drop in e-cigarette and cigarette sales in the state. Since the policy went into effect, e-cigarette sales dropped by 37% and cigarette sales fell by 10.6% statewide. While some products are still skirting the law, the data is clear. Strong state policies can reduce access to addictive to***co products, especially among young people.
