December 12, 2022, Justice Elena Kagan, on behalf of the United States Supreme
Court, denied a request by R.J.
Reynolds and other tobacco interests for an emergency injunction to block
implementation of California’s law
restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products. As a result, nearly two

after it was resoundingly upheld by 64 percent of the state’s voters,
California’s retail flavor ban will take effect by December 21, 2022.
