BANGOR, Maine — The Bangor City Council is, once again, presenting a city-wide ban on ending flavored tobacco sales. City councilors voted to implement a ban on flavored tobacco sales in fall 2021, making it the first community in Maine to end the sales of flavored tobacco. However, in May, the city had to reverse the ordinance due to procedural errors. At its city council meeting on July 25, the Bangor City Council held a first reading of the city's new flavored tobacco ordinance. On Wednesday, support for the ban was hand-delivered.
