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.

CANTON The town council has appointed longtime local public radio journalist Martha Foley Smith as a council member for 2021 to fill the vacancy left by former councilwoman Karin Blackburn.
However, prior to naming Foley Smith to the council seat, the board was again criticized for their handling of Blackburn’s appointment to the town clerk’s position last week.
Blackburn resigned from her elected council post Dec. 18 and was appointed as interim town clerk on Dec. 31 to fill out the remaining term of then retiring clerk Lisa Hammond.
Foley Smith was one of four people who expressed interest in serving as an interim council member, said Town Supervisor Mary Ann Ashley at the board reorganizational meeting Wednesday, Jan. 6 when Foley Smith was named to the council seat.
