In Baltimore Everest Greenish Grocery shows colorful flavored cigarillos like white grape and strawberry next to Hershey bars. The rise in cigars and other tobacco products follows a 2009 law that bypassed flavors in cigars, prompting debate over FDA timing and impact on youth smoking. Concerns center on cheaper flavored options offsetting declines in cigarette use, with experts urging clear regulation and enforcement.

Smoking fines in Ohio bars show enforcement gaps
Ohio bars face fines for smoking violations with Froggy Blues Cafe in Monroe owing 36 thousand six hundred and Cobblestone Tavern in Fairfield 24 thousand one hundred since 2007. Enforcement hinges on complaint driven inspections, license actions, and a state program that collected about one quarter of owed sums.
