Indiana Legislators to Consider Flavored Tobacco Ban

A bill seeking to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products has been introduced into the Indiana General Assembly by Rep. Carolyn Jackson, D-1.

The bill, HB 1124, would prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products and their components, including cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco, as well as other tobacco products that have a characterizing flavor other than that of tobacco. It includes a prohibition on mint and menthol as well as candy, fruit and related flavors.

The bill received its first hearing on Jan. 8 and has been referred to the House Committee on Public Health.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
