PG County council in Maryland passed that ban in November last year. However, cigar stores, restaurants, golf courses, etc., were exempt from the ban. I think even the most idiotic of politicians are aware (or are quickly made aware) of the difference between the type of clientele that buys a Grape White Owl at a convenience store vs. the type that buys a single at a place like a golf course or tobacconist. As long as our community remains vocal about this difference - we should be unaffected by these types of laws.
