PALMDALE — The City Council failed to approve an expanded version of Palmdale’s ban on flavored tobacco, after hearing from numerous tobacco retailers about the harm the ban would do to their businesses. The failure maintains the city’s existing flavored tobacco ban.

On Wednesday, the Council considered an ordinance that would ban all flavored tobacco products, a step that would close loopholes in the existing ordinance by expanding the definition of the banned products, Interim City Attorney Scott Porter said.
