A Denver City Council committee on Wednesday advanced a measure that would ban sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products in the city, despite strong objections from the industry and retailers that sell e-cigarettes and vapes.

The Supreme Court on Monday heard arguments about the federal regulation of flavored e-cigarettes, in a case pitting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) against two vaping companies. Justices weighed whether the agency acted lawfully when it denied the applications of the companies to market fruity and dessert-flavored liquids for their electronic nicotine products.
