Topeka, Kan., Bans Sale of Tobacco Products to Those Under 21
Also, Robbinsdale, Minn., becomes the latest city to limit the sale of flavored tobacco products.

Meanwhile, the Robbinsdale (Minn.) City Council approved a measure to only allow those age 18 and older to purchase flavored tobacco sales—and only at shops with tobacco generating 90% of overall sales, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. The ordinance also places a minimum sale price for cigars ($2.60) and packs of four or more ($10.40). Four other Minnesota cities have similar restrictions on flavored tobacco: Minneapolis, Plymouth, Shoreview, St. Louis Park and St. Paul.
Minneapolis is also considering prohibiting the sale of menthol cigarettes. San Francisco recently banned the sale of menthol and flavored tobacco products in retail stores, which goes into effect next April.
