The Loveland City Council is moving forward with proposals to regulate vapor products.

There are two ordinances that would require all tobacco/vapor retailers to be licensed through the city. One of these ordinances, 6443(A), includes a ban on sales of any flavored tobacco or nicotine products.

These proposals will be introduced and discussed at the city council meeting on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 6:00PM. Loveland residents are encouraged to contact their officials and urge them to oppose the flavor ban. Contact your officials using the form on this page.

Suggested Talking Points for your Comments, Phone Calls, and Public Testimony:

  • Tell Your Story! How long did you smoke and how long have you been smoke-free? Also, if you tried to quit in the past, how many attempts did you make and what products did you use?
  • What flavors did you use and is variety important to you?
  • Explain what a flavor ban will mean for you. Will your favorite shop be forced to close? Will you shop out of state, online, or turn to an underground seller?
  • Note any changes in your health. Most people report recovering their sense of taste and smell, but others are experiencing more significant improvements. Have you experienced positive changes to your health since switching to vaping?
