Proposition 31 was a California ballot proposition regarding the regulation and prohibition of flavored tobacco that appeared on the 2022 general election ballot.
A "yes" vote supported limiting the retail sale of flavored tobacco while a "no" vote opposed such limits.[1]
Proposal[edit]
The proposition was a referendum on a 2020 California law, Senate Bill 793, that sought to ban the sale of most flavored tobacco products in stores and vending machines.[2] Violations of the ban would result in fines of $250.[3] Exemptions included hookah and loose-leaf tobacco.[3]
Responses[edit]
Supporters of the proposition included the California Teachers Association, the California Democratic Party, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Michael Bloomberg, and Gavin Newsom.[3][4] Opponents of the proposition included the California Republican Party and tobacco companies including R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and Philip Morris USA.[3][4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
