A NEW TOBACCO SALES ORDINANCE HAS BEEN PASSED IN MONTEREY COUNTY. COUNTY SUPERVISORS BELIEVE THAT THE NEW LAW WILL BE MORE ENFORCEABLE AND HAVE MORE TEETH THAN THE STATE LAW. THE NEW PENALTIES, FOR SELLING TOBACCO TO PEOPLE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, WILL INCLUDE THE REVOCATION OF THE SELLER’S RETAIL LICENSE. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
