Troubleshooter Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — Cleveland's Director of Public Health, Dr. Dave Margolius, has made the city's prolific smoking problem one of his biggest priorities, but some eight months after proposing a ban on flavored tobacco products, he's still waiting for a response from city council.
Margoius told News 5 his coalition is trying to get anti-smoking messages out to the public, with the State of Ohio spending $15 million a year in public education but said his team is battling with a Goliath. “To try to limit something just in the City of Cleveland is not going to work; if you’re going to do anything, you’ve got to go countywide," Polensek said. “We know the impact on small local businesses who are struggling big time, and that’s what we hear from them now."
Still, Margolius doesn't believe a city ban on flavored tobacco products will hurt Cleveland small business owners all that much and said if Cleveland takes the lead on a ban, he expects other Northeast Ohio cities to follow suit with similar bans, a phenomenon that took place in Columbus when it passed a ban last year.
