Please consider banning not only flavored tobacco products but flavored marijuana products. Both have
contributed to the youth use epidemic of vaping. Please consider not exempting hookah because hookahs are
also used for both tobacco and marijuana; both have harmful effects, especially to adolescents. Both violate
California's Clean Indoor Air Law and smoke free workplace laws. 79% of hookah users use flavorings and 80%
of young people who ever used tobacco began with flavored tobacco products. The risk of exempting hookah is
that vape dealers could morph into hookah sellers over night.
