RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report from the Health Services Community Wellness and Prevention Program on the Implementation Timeline and Enforcement Plan for Ordinance 2019-34.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2019 the Board of Supervisors directed staff to prepare an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of vaping products in the unincorporated county to address mounting concerns related to the rapid increase in use of these product by minors and the co-occurring epidemic of serious lung disease that has been linked to the use of vaping devices.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 07, 2019, staff presented a report to the Family and Human Services Committee regarding the proposed prohibition on the sale of vaping products. The Committee accepted the report and discussed the recommendations presented by staff. The Committee recommended that staff review the FDA approval process for new tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and to address cannabis vaping products in the

proposed ordinance. The Committee further recommended that the proposed ordinance prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products in the entire unincorporated county.

On November 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors unanimously introduced Ordinance No. 2019-34, waived its reading, and fixed November 19, 2019 for adoption of the ordinance.
Adoption of this ordinance was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 19, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this report is not accepted, Ordinance 2019-34 will not have an established implementation timeline and enforcement plan.
