As the statewide ballot question regarding the ban on flavored e-cigarettes and other tobacco products in the November elections looms, Santa Benito County has taken the first step towards prohibiting these products.
According to Halfwheel's report, on August 9th a county supervisory board approved an ordinance that will prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products in all areas of the county, including Hollister and San Juan Bautista. The ordinance was approved unanimously by the board of five supervisors.
The ordinance also includes a ban on the sale of disposable or single-use electronic cigarettes, which will undergo a second reading at the board meeting on August 23. If passed as written, the ban will take effect 30 days after adoption. San Benito County is home to approximately 64,000 residents and is located in the southeast of San Jose.
