New at Reason: I wrote about Raed Dear, a deaf immigrant from Jordan who owns one of the last hookah lounges in Portland. He will likely lose his business after the Multnomah County Board votes next week to ban the sale of flavored tobacco.

You can smoke all the pot you want, but flavored tobacco or nicotine is now illegal.
