Annual Lupine Fest is mostly online
ALBANY The Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission s annual Lupine Fest will be held May 15 through June 5 with limited activities in the 3,350-acre preserve but mostly virtually.
The Crescent City Council is considering requiring gas stations, vape shops and other tobacco retailers to get a tobacco retail license with the city.
Amber Wier, project director for NorCal 4 Health â a California Health Collaborative project focused on reducing tobacco influences â spoke to the council about ways to limit youth tobacco use at a Monday meeting.
Weir suggested imposing tobacco retail licenses. Much like a liquor license, a tobacco retail license would set a cap on the amount of tobacco retailers in the city, as well as, limiting tobacco flavors and advertisements near schools, said Wier.
Some members of the council were not in favor of imposing more restrictions on tobacco retailers.
Report: Big Tobacco targets youth, communities of color in Solano
FAIRFIELD More menthol cigarettes are sold in Solano than any other county in the state, the result – officials said – of a targeted marketing strategy toward communities of color and youth.
“Solano County – one of the most diverse counties in the country – has become a leading target of the tobacco industry,” Kirbee Brooks, the county Tobacco Prevention Project coordinator, said in a statement released Thursday by the county administration.
“Big Tobacco aggressively promotes menthol cigarettes, particularly among communities of color and the young. Mentholated tobacco products are typically aimed at people of color and our youth because menthol temporarily masks the harshness of tobacco smoke, making it easier for new users to get hooked,” he said in the statement.
