Judge tosses out challenge to Denver’s ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products
Denver’s ban on flavored tobacco products remains in effect after a court dismissed a lawsuit challenging it. The city council passed the ban in 2024 to address underage vaping and health risks, and a judge ruled the plaintiffs failed to prove constitutional violations. Vape shop owners argued the law harms small businesses, while public health advocates praised it for reducing youth tobacco use.
