The move follows similar actions in such cities such as Imperial Beach, Encinitas and Solana Beach, along with San Diego County's unincorporated areas.The San Diego City Council officially passed an ordinance Tuesday to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products — including menthol cigarettes — in the city, effective Jan. 1, 2023.
The move — spearheaded by Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert — follows similar actions in such cities such as Imperial Beach, Encinitas and Solana Beach, along with San Diego County's unincorporated areas. It also comes months before a statewide referendum tackling the issue in November. The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday it will begin the process of banning menthol tobacco cigarettes in an attempt to improve the health of groups most likely to smoke menthol products.
The council passed the first reading of the issue in April. This second vote makes the ordinance — known as the Stop Adolescent Addiction From E-Cigarettes, or SAAFE, Act — law.
