City Council of Beverly Hills, California, votes unanimously to ban, beginning in 2021, almost all sales of tobacco products.
The City Council of Beverly Hills, California, voted unanimously on Tuesday to ban, beginning in 2021, almost all sales of tobacco products.
Exempted from the ban are hotels and three cigar lounges in the tony Los Angeles suburb, the AP reported. The hotel carve-out was made to help accommodate tourists, but they'll still have to go smoke outside.Many gas station owners who opposed the bill said their businesses were being targeted unfairly, while advocates for public health said the gains would far outweigh the costs.
