“After several revisions and two months of debate, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a tobacco retail license ordinance intended to reduce usage by minors and hold retailers more accountable. The measure allows the county to enforce minimum age laws and a previously adopted ban on flavored tobacco products; and prohibits the sale of tobacco products at pharmacies. The vote was 4-1 in favor of the ordinance, with outgoing Supervisor Kristin Gaspar opposed. The ordinance — which will take effect on July 1 and applies only to unincorporated areas within the county — does not affect hookah tobacco use. Unlike previous meetings, there was little discussion among the supervisors before the final vote.”
