Law Banning Flavored Tobacco Products in San Diego Signed into Law

San Diego City Councilwomen Marni von Wilpert and Jennifer Campbell joined San Diego School Board Trustees on Friday to announce the Stop Adolescent Addiction to Flavored E-Cigarettes Act was officially signed into law by Gloria.

The City Council approved the SAAFE Act, introduced by von Wilpert, to prohibit the sale of specified flavored tobacco and nicotine products in the city. It targets flavored tobacco and nicotine products that “appeal to children through candy and fruit flavors, as an attempt to hide the harshness of nicotine and as a direct attempt to appeal to a younger audience,” von Wilpert said.

“This new law is going to save lives and safeguard children’s health,” she said. “Our new partnership with San Diego schools will empower parents with vital health resources so we do everything possible to prevent Big Tobacco from hooking our children and hijacking their futures.”

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.
