Campaign contributions for and against Denver flavored nicotine ban heat up as Election Day approaches
DENVER — With less than one month left until Election Day in Denver, contributions into the campaigns for and against the ban on flavored nicotine are heating up.
In September, Michael Bloomberg donated more than $1.5 million to the campaign Denver Kids vs. Big Tobacco in an effort to uphold the ban passed by the Denver City Council back in 2024, and signed into law by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston shortly after.
On Wednesday, some Denver vape shop owners gathered to discuss the impacts the ban would have on their small businesses and overall livelihoods.
"We have five locations, but our main location is here in Denver, and it's our most important location," explained Phil Guerin, who owns Myxed Up Creations. "Myxed Up has been open for over three decades, and we've been on Colfax Avenue for over three decades. This store is extremely important to our business. This is our original location. This is where all the magic started. This is where it happens. We really depend on this as our headquarters, as it's really the head of our business."
