| No Comments

But Arkansas, Louisiana and Puerto Rico recently enacted similar bans, and at least three other states are considering them: California, Connecticut and Maine, where proponents hope the Bangor ban will be a catalyst for a state law. How far do you think public health agencies should proceed in becoming a health police, rather than health educators?
