According to the SF Standard, the nicotine company was accused of going around the ban by selling their flavored products online.
Along with the $3 million check — split between Zyn and their parent company Rogue Holdings and Swisher International — Zyn will also be required to post language on their website making visitors aware that flavored products are banned in San Francisco.
