The city of Tempe in Arizona, United States, is considering a proposal that would require retailers to obtain a tobacco sales license to sell products such as electronic cigarettes.
According to reports, a proposal from the city council committee is calling for the registration of tobacco-selling businesses throughout the city and for the revocation of licenses for retailers repeatedly selling tobacco to minors.
It also recommends raising the age limit for purchasing tobacco products to 21 years old. While federal law already prohibits the sale to those under 21, there is no similar state law in Arizona.
Before discussing the issue, the Tampa City Council will hold two community meetings and an online survey in March, with the discussion expected to take place in April or May.
