CAUTION – EXTERNAL SENDER
Dear Brentwood City Councilmembers,
As a Brentwood parent, I strongly urge you to adopt a comprehensive Tobacco Retail License (TRL) ordinance—without delay.
The need for action at the city level is urgent. Our community continues to see the harmful impact of youth nicotine addiction, especially through vaping. Last February, the Liberty Union High School District took an important step by passing a resolution supporting a TRL. Additionally, Brentwood schools are leading the way in youth education and intervention. They were the pilot site for the Y Vape education program and recently launched a youth court initiative, giving students real opportunities to lead and engage their peers in restorative justice. These are not small steps—these are bold, meaningful actions.
The schools have done—and continue to do—their part. Now it’s the city’s turn to act.
Right now, Brentwood has the chance to pass a strong TRL ordinance with comprehensive enforcement, which is exactly what our city needs. Please do not delay any further. Support a strong, equitable TRL ordinance that reflects the urgency of this issue and the leadership our young people—and our community—deserve.
Sincerely,
Ali Wohlgemuth

Dear City of Brentwood Council,
My name is Amber Zulawski, and I’m the owner of Quik Stop Market on Walnut Blvd in Brentwood. I’ve worked at this location since 1997 and officially purchased the business in August 2024. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of serving many of you and hope to continue doing so for years to come.
I’m writing to express my opposition to the proposed changes to the Tobacco Retailer Ordinance (BMC Chapter 5.76).
According to the notice, these changes may include:
• A City-issued Tobacco Retailer License
• Proof of a Business Tax Certificate
• Restrictions on the sale of flavored and electronic products • Regulations on package size and pricing
• Restriction on location of Establishment
1. City-issued Tobacco Retailer License:
Retailers in California are already required to obtain a license from the CDTFA, and in Contra Costa County, a Tobacco Retailer License from the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office.
Requiring an additional license at the city level adds unnecessary bureaucracy and expense for small businesses already in compliance.
2. Business Tax Certificate:
I agree that all businesses should have a valid certificate. This requirement is already in place and is not in dispute.
3. Product Restrictions (flavored/electronic products, size, and cost):
The state has already banned flavored tobacco products under SB 793, effective since December 2022. This includes menthol cigarettes and flavored e-cigarettes. Adding local restrictions on package size and pricing will go beyond state law and put local businesses at a further disadvantage.
For example, Oakland saw a 25% drop in lower-priced cigarette sales after implementing similar rules. Is Brentwood prepared to lose that kind of tax revenue? That reduction DBA: Zulawski’s Effective Holdings, Inc.

directly impacts small businesses like mine, forcing us to cut employee hours or staffing entirely. It affects not just our store but our employees’ livelihoods—and by extension, the economic well-being of our entire community.
4. Restriction on Location of Establishment:
Restricting the number of stores that can sell these products could hurt the profitability and long-term viability of existing businesses.
Black Market Concerns:
We’ve already seen a rise in black market sales following the flavor ban. Customers still come in asking for products that aren’t legally sold, citing other stores that are still offering them under the table. Adding further restrictions will likely expand this underground market, diverting sales and tax revenue outside legal channels—and possibly outside Brentwood altogether.
These changes, while well-intended, may harm the very community they’re meant to protect. I respectfully urge you to reconsider making further changes to an already heavily regulated industry.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Amber Zulawski

Dear Mayor Susannah Meyer, Vice Mayor Pa'tanisha Pierson, Council Member Faye Maloney, Council Member Jovita Mendoza, and Council Member Tony Oerlemans, The African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC) strongly urges you to protect African Americans, young people, and the broader Brentwood community by implementing a Tobacco Retailer License (TRL) program. We encourage the Council to adopt a comprehensive policy that will:
1. End the sale of flavored tobacco.
2. End the sale of electronic smoking devices.
3. Ban coupons or discounts for tobacco products.
4. Set a minimum pack of 20 little cigars and six cigars (this doesn’t apply if the Cigars are more than $10)
5. Set a minimum price of $10 for a pack of cigarettes, a package of little cigars, and individual cigars.
6. Create a 500ft buffer between tobacco retailers and youth-oriented establishments.
7. Create a 500ft buffer between tobacco retailers.
8. Cap the number of tobacco retailers in Brentwood at 41.
9. Enforce a first-come, first-served application process for tobacco retail license distribution.
10. Require that all tobacco retailers be licensed in the city of Brentwood.
11. Require an annual tobacco retail license fee of $2,201.00.
If the Council truly wants a healthier Brentwood, and we believe you do, then SB 793 must be enforced locally with a strong tobacco retail license program. Enforcement of this state law will interrupt the predatory marketing tactics that commercial tobacco companies use that disproportionately impact poorer communities, marginalized groups, youths, and communities of color.

Strong city-wide tobacco policies protect African Americans, young people, and the greater community from big tobacco’s predatory marketing tactics, which include making cheap tobacco products easily accessible to price-sensitive populations.
Statistics show that the commercial tobacco industry targets the Black Community with more advertisements, more lucrative promotions, and easier access to cheaper cigarettes compared to other communities (Henriksen et al., 2011; Seidenberg et al., 2010). These predatory practices for the past 50 years have led to Black folks dying disproportionately from heart attacks, lung cancer, strokes, and other tobacco-related diseases (RSG, 2014).
If the Council truly wants a healthier Brentwood, and we believe you do, then SB 793 must be enforced locally with a strong tobacco retail license program. Enforcement of this state law will interrupt the predatory marketing tactics that commercial tobacco companies use that disproportionately impact poorer communities, marginalized groups, youths, and communities of color.
The AATCLC
Formed in 2008, the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council comprises a cadre of dedicated community activists, academics, public health advocates, and researchers. Our headquarters are in California, but we are national in our scope and reach. We have partnered with community stakeholders, elected officials, and public health agencies from Chicago, Boston, and Minneapolis to Berkeley and San Francisco. Our work has shaped the national discussion and direction of tobacco control policy, practices, and priorities, primarily as they affect the lives of Black Americans, African immigrant populations, and, ultimately, all individuals who smoke. The AATCLC has been at the forefront in elevating the regulation of mentholated and other flavored tobacco products on the national tobacco control agenda, including testifying at the FDA hearings in 2010 and 2011 when the agency first considered removing menthol cigarettes from the marketplace. In November of 2019, we testified on Capitol Hill in support of HR 2339 (The Pallone Bill); this bill would prohibit the manufacturing and sale of menthol and all flavored tobacco products throughout the United States. This Bill was passed in the House of Representatives in February 2020 but went nowhere in the Senate. In June 2020, the AATCLC and its partner, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), filed a lawsuit against the FDA for dragging their feet by leaving menthol on the marketplace, with overwhelming scientific evidence showing that the FDA should have menthol removed immediately. Subsequently and importantly, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the National Medical Association (NMA) joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs. When the FDA began the rulemaking process, we dropped the lawsuit. However, since the FDA still has not taken the appropriate action, we filed a second lawsuit on April 2, 2024. This lawsuit comes more than seven months after the FDA’s initial date for finalizing the new rule and follows the FDA’s 15-year delay in equitable policymaking.
Call to Action!
Now is the time to adopt strong tobacco control measures to protect our families. The Council needs to put the health of Brentwood at the forefront of their thoughts, not the interests and profits of the tobacco industry, the vaping industry, and their surrogates. It is time to take a stand for the public’s health and say “No” to the continued predatory marketing of tobacco products to our youth and say “Yes” to the health and welfare of our kids, who are the most vulnerable. Say “Yes” to the protection of all Brentwood residents.
We are all counting on you!

Dear Council Members:
My name is Chad Lamer, Vice President General Counsel for WinCo Foods, LLC. I am submitting comments related to the adoption of Chapter 5.76 Tobacco Retailers and Adoption of Tobacco Retail License Fee. WinCo is not opposed to the adoption of Chapter 5.76 but requests certain revisions to the ordinance to allow for continued sale of tobacco products in currently operating grocery stores within 500’ of a Youth Orientated Establishment (subject to obtaining a license).
WinCo Foods is located at 6700 Lone Tree Way, Brentwood, California. Our Brentwood store began operations in October of 2003. This store is within 500’ of a Youth Orientated Establishment. WinCo respectfully requests the ordinance be revised to allow currently operating grocery stores be exempt from the from the distance prohibitions in the ordinance. This merely protects currently operating grocery store businesses and comports to how the ordinance would be applied if a Youth Orientated Establishment located itself within 500’ of an existing Tobacco Retailer after the Tobacco Retailer obtained the license required by the ordinance.
I plan on attending the May 13th City Council meeting via Zoom to provide additional comments and answer any questions you may have regarding this request. I appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

CAUTION – EXTERNAL SENDER
Dear Mayor and Brentwood City Council Members,
My name is Diana Aleman, and I have been a proud resident of Brentwood for over 20 years. I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed ordinance to establish new regulations on tobacco sales and the creation of a Tobacco Retail Licensing program.
As someone who has lived in this city for most of my life, I’ve seen how tobacco has affected our youth firsthand. My younger siblings went through the Brentwood school system and often spoke about the easy access and presence of tobacco products near their schools. Now, as a parent raising children in this same community, I am deeply encouraged to see the City Council taking proactive steps to reduce youth exposure to tobacco and protect public health.
I especially appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of separation requirements between tobacco retailers and youth-oriented establishments. This will help create safer, healthier environments for our children and reduce the likelihood of them being targeted by tobacco marketing or drawn into harmful habits at a young age.
Thank you for taking this critical issue seriously and for prioritizing the well-being of our youth and future generations. I strongly urge you to move forward with the adoption of these regulations and continue leading the way in building a healthier Brentwood.
Sincerely,
Diana Aleman
Good afternoon to all esteemed county leaders and community members. My name is Maleek Oladunjoye, and I serve as co-chair of our county’s Tobacco Prevention Coalition. I’m here today to express strong support for our county’s continued commitment to tobacco control, particularly in light of recent state and federal efforts to curb addiction and protect public health.
The issue of tobacco regulation is personal to me. I have a little brother currently in high school at Liberty High School, and I worry about how easily kids like him are still being exposed to flavored vapes and nicotine products. These products are designed to appeal to youth—with bright colors, candy flavors, and misleading packaging. And unfortunately, they’re working. More and more teens are getting hooked. Even with California’s new laws like AB 3218 and SB 1230, loopholes still exist. Retailers are using terms like "unflavored" or selling synthetic nicotine products that attract young users just the same. Disposable vapes like Elf Bars are still easy to find—and enforcement isn’t keeping pace.
That’s why I’m here today asking our county to take action by voting in favor of the tobacco retail license. Let’s make sure my brother—and every kid in our community—is protected from a lifetime of addiction.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to public health.

CAUTION – EXTERNAL SENDER
Good evening,
My name is Marc Strauch and I’m the owner of 2 small, family-run business here in Brentwood.
I’m a local business owner who gets up every day to serve my neighbors, create jobs, and keep my doors open in an increasingly challenging economy. I’m writing you tonight to ask you— respectfully but urgently—not to pass this tobacco ordinance as written. It directly threatens the survival of small, law-abiding retailers like me.
This ordinance imposes a 500-foot buffer between retailers and youth-oriented locations, and another 500-foot buffer between each retailer. That might sound reasonable on paper—but when you map it out, it becomes a de facto ban. One of our locations has been open for 23 years and is located within 500 feet of another tobacco retailer. This will put one of us out of business. How do you decide who goes? I have been told first come first serve. This is no way to treat longstanding businesses in Brentwood.
Tobacco represents 25 to 30% of our in-store sales. Losing these sales would be devastating. We own our location. we can't just pick up and move. Who is going to reimburse us for lost revenue, pay our team members, our mortgage, and all our other expenses. The answer, unfortunately, is no one.
This ordinance bans flavored products, vapes, and imposes arbitrary packaging sizes and minimum prices. Let me be clear: I do not sell to kids. We ID every customer who appears to be 35 and under, every time. But these restrictions won’t stop youth access—they’ll just push it to unregulated online markets where there are no ID checks, no compliance inspections, no accountability at all.
The city is proposing two compliance checks and one decoy operation every year, along with steep fines and license suspensions. One mistake—one employee who doesn’t ask for ID fast enough—and we’re out $1,000 and shut down for 60 days. Most small businesses can’t afford to take that kind of hit.
We are already working through the impacts of lower gas sales, inflation, wage increases, theft, and supply chain disruptions. Now we’re being told we have 18 days to apply for a license or wind down part of our business. Eighteen days. After years of serving this community. That’s not support. That’s a penalty.
This ordinance doesn’t just regulate tobacco. It threatens livelihoods. It erodes small business stability. And it sends a chilling message to local entrepreneurs: You are not wanted here.
If your goal is to reduce youth access, let’s work together on education, enforcement, and responsible retail practices. But please—don’t wipe us off the map in the process.
Thank you for your time, and for considering the real-world impact of this ordinance on your local businesses.

To the Brentwood City Council,
I oppose the proposed Tobacco Restrictions. Our cities and counties should focus on education and community programs to prevent underage tobacco use, not minimum price, and pack size. The vape ban and the minimum price/pack sizes will hurt adult consumers and their wallets and push sales outside the city (or worse encourage black market sales). These restrictions hurt small businesses who are already complying with the laws – you must be 21 to buy tobacco and must card anyone who looks under the age of 30 (California already banned flavored tobacco a couple of years back). The price to do business and to live in California continues to go up, this law will do exactly that, raise the price, and make it more expensive to live and do business in California. I encourage you to vote no on this proposal.
Thank You,

Good Evening Mayor Meyers and Honorable Council members, My name is Dr. Sofe Mekuria and I am the Director of Contra Costa Public Health and the Interim Director of the Community Health and Safety Branch. Thank you for your consideration of these tobacco policy recommendations.
Our mission is to care for and improve the health of all people in Contra Costa County with special attention to those who are most vulnerable. One of the most vulnerable to the influences of tobacco are youth.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. According to the 2024 CDC’s Surgeon General report, tobacco kills more than 480,000 people annually which is more than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. If smoking rates do not decline, an estimated 441,000 of all California youth alive today could die prematurely from smoking-related diseases.
Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers start before the age of 18 and 99% start by age 26. Exposure to nicotine among young people is particularly dangerous since it affects key brain receptors, making them more susceptible to nicotine addiction. Vape products, which are the most popular tobacco product with youth, often have particularly high levels of nicotine and deliver nicotine in a more concentrated form.
For example, 1 Elf Bar (a popular brand among youth) contains the equivalent nicotine dose of 25 cigarette packs (Dr. Jackler, Stanford Medicine Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising, UCSF Billion Lives Symposium, April 11 2025).
As a pediatrician working in our healthcare system, I have also seen the need for community health and safety, which includes supporting policy changes to improve health outcomes. Prevention is critical.
Many factors contribute to reducing youth tobacco use, and studies have shown that comprehensive TRLs are associated with lower youth tobacco initiation and use. If young people don’t start using tobacco by age 26, they likely never will, and a Tobacco Retailer Licensing (TRL) policy is a critical component to the reduction of youth tobacco use.
Thank you for your leadership in reducing youth access to tobacco.
