San Francisco mayor signs ban on e-cigarettes sales

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has signed an ordinance that effectively bans e-cigarette sales within the city — the first of its kind in the United States

This comes after the city's board of supervisors passed the measure unanimously last Tuesday. Breed signed the ordinance on Friday, the mayor's office confirmed Monday.The policy will take another seven months to become fully implemented. According to the measure, the policy becomes"effective" 30 days after being signed, and it becomes"operative" six months after that.

While Kwong said last week the city ban on sales would"drive former adult smokers who successfully switched to vapor products back to deadly cigarettes, deny the opportunity to switch for current adult smokers, and create a thriving black market instead of addressing the actual causes of underage access and use," the company maintains it has taken action to limit kids from using its products.
