Council adopts citywide ban on tobacco sales

The City Council voted at its October 5 regular meeting to adopt an ordinance that bans the sale and delivery of commercial tobacco products and electronic smoking devices within Mill Valley.

The ordinance covers both traditional tobacco products and e-cigarettes, meaning retailers in the city will no longer be able to sell or deliver these items once the measure takes effect.

The city's announcement did not detail an effective date, enforcement mechanism, or any dissent on the council; residents and retailers with questions should watch for implementation guidance from the city.
