Oregon City Supports Statewide Ban on Flavored Tobacco Products
OREGON CITY, OR — Oregon City has taken a stand against flavored tobacco products by passing a resolution on Wednesday that calls for an end to their sale.
Following a joint letter, ACS CAN and its partners were successful in pressuring the Orange Bowl and NCAA to cancel a sponsorship agreement with Camacho Cigars. This sponsorship would have encouraged teenagers, especially young men, to smoke. This was the latest attempt by the tobacco industry to undermine current law banning cigarette and smokeless tobacco brand sponsorships of sporting events. ACS CAN continues to urge the FDA to use its authority to extend the sponsorship ban to cigar sponsorships of sporting events.
