The city of Foster, California, in the United States, is proposing a ban on the sale of flavored tobacco and e-cigarette products. The city council will review the proposal at its next meeting in November. The ban was previously put on hold in August due to a lack of sufficient support.
I firmly believe this is an opportunity for us to do the right thing for our children," said Councilmember Sanjai Gehani. According to The Daily News, the city council originally planned to apply the ordinance only to tobacco products, but at the October 3 meeting, Gehani and Deputy Mayor Jon Froomin requested a stricter ban that includes e-cigarettes, which prompted Mayor Richa Awasthi and Councilmember Patrick Sullivan to change their minds. Staff will also propose a tobacco reselling permit ordinance to address violations of the smoking ban. The ordinance, proposed by Froomin, will detail the enforcement actions the city government can take against those who violate the ban. Froomin said strict enforcement is needed to be effective in the community. The proposed ordinance will apply to convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations, and other businesses.
