In May, the City Council approved the Stop Adolescent Addiction to Flavored E-Cigarettes Act, introduced by Marni von Wilpert, to prohibit the sale of specified flavored tobacco and nicotine products in the city.
School Board Trustees Richard Barrera and Zachary Patterson joined the councilwomen at Friday morning's news conference to educate parents on the dangers of skyrocketing teenage nicotine addiction and highlighted resources to combat youth nicotine use.
The SAAFE Act makes it illegal for any tobacco or electronic cigarette retailer to sell or distribute specified flavored tobacco products, including menthol. The ordinance does not apply to the sale of shisha, premium cigars or loose-leaf tobacco. In addition, unflavored or tobacco flavored e- cigarettes as well as FDA-approved cessation devices will also be exempt.
