SANTA ANA, Calif.—The Santa Ana City Council will vote on finalizing a full ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products on March 15 after months of discussion.

“We are in the midst of a huge tobacco use epidemic, [in] which tobacco companies are luring kids into [a] lifetime of nicotine addiction,” Councilwoman Nelida Mendoza said at a March 1 meeting.
