Cities face clash over flavored tobacco rights
The Ohio Mayors Alliance is urging the Ohio Supreme Court to uphold the state's constitutional home rule provision amid a legal conflict over local bans on flavored tobacco sales. The conflict arose after the state legislature prohibited cities from regulating tobacco, including flavored vapes, overriding local efforts to protect youth from addictive products. Despite bipartisan support and vetoes from the governor, the legislature’s law is being challenged, with the court scheduled to hear oral arguments, emphasizing the importance of local self-governance in addressing community-specific needs.
