RE: September 13thCity Council Agenda, ITEM 8.2: Prohibiting Flavored Tobacco Sales Dear Mayor and City Council:
On behalf of the San Diegans VS Big Tobacco coalition, we want to express our appreciation for your leadership and supporting ending the sale of flavored tobacco products in Chula Vista and to strongly express our support for ITEM 8.2 on the September 13thCity Council agenda with no amendments.
As you know, ITEM 8.2 will end the sale of most flavored tobacco products in Chula Vista including: e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes, synthetic nicotine and tobacco-derived e-liquids.
Across California, more than one- hundred cities and counties have taken similar action to protect their residents from the tobacco industry. The largest cities in California have taken action including: San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland, Long Beach, Santa Ana, Los Angeles and San Diego. Chula Vista will join them and Imperial Beach and the County of San Diego by approving this ordinance and protecting your community.
In a recent poll, 68% of local voters support ending the sale of flavored tobacco products.
The San Diegans VS Big Tobacco coalition strongly encourages you to join them in supporting ITEM 8.2 on the September 13thCity Council agenda with no amendments.
We look forward to your leadership on taking a strong stand against Big Tobacco.
Sincerely,
Adrian Kwiatkowski
