Will Denver Ban Flavored Tobacco Sales? Plus, Listeners Respond to Caring for Denver Investigation

It’s Tuesday, and we’re talking about the biggest stories of the week. First, Mayor Mike Johnston is poised to reverse one of his predecessor’s most controversial decisions and approve City Council’s proposal to ban sales of flavored tobacco, including Zyn. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the changing politics of bubble gum vape juice, as well as some ongoing pizza drama and hear listeners responses to our conversation about CPR’s Caring for Denver investigation. Paul discussed the Colorado Sun’s reporting on Beau Jo’s 50th anniversary in 2023 and our episode about the new Zyn plant being built in Aurora and Gov. Polis’s comments about that plant.
