Editor's Notes:

Beverly Hills Bans the Sale of All Tobacco Products
 
Last month, the Beverly Hills City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to prohibit the sale of tobacco products in the city starting on January 1, 2021.  Key provisions of the ordinance include:

  • A permanent exemption/carve out for three existing cigar lounges;
  • Effective January 1, 2021, hotels, existing and future, may only sell to guests;
  • Effective January 1, 2021, all other businesses shall stop selling tobacco products;
  • A hardship exemption provision for retailers that demonstrate the ban would cause undue  hardship; and
  • City Council review of the impacts on tourism in three years.
The city banned the sale of flavored tobacco products last year. For more information about the new ban, call (310) 285-2424 or click here.
