TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.3
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Proclaim National Friends of Libraries Week in San Anselmo, October 18-24, 2026
FROM: Serianna Leyland, Adult Services Librarian
Linda M. Kenton, Town Librarian
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council proclaim National Friends of Libraries Week in San Anselmo, October 18-24, 2026
BACKGROUND
First sponsored in 2006, National Friends of Libraries Week is a national observance sponsored by United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association (ALA), libraries and Friends Groups across the country each October. It is a time to celebrate Friends of Libraries for their contributions, and to raise awareness and increase membership.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The San Anselmo Town Council shows support for the Friends of the San Anselmo Library by proclaiming National Friends of Libraries Week. This year’s Proclamation is found in Attachment 1 and follows here:
National Friends of Libraries Week 2026 Proclamation
San Anselmo Public Library
WHEREAS, Friends of the San Anselmo Library raise money that enables our library to move from good to great -- providing the resources for additional programming, much needed equipment, support for children’s summer reading, and special events throughout the year;
WHEREAS, the work of the Friends highlights on an on-going basis the fact that our library is the cornerstone of the community providing opportunities for all to engage in the joy of life-long learning and connect with the thoughts and ideas of others from ages past to the present;
38 Item #: 1.3
WHEREAS, the Friends understand the critical importance of well-funded libraries and advocate to ensure that our library gets the resources it needs to provide a wide variety of services to all ages including access to print and electronic materials, along with expert assistance in research, readers’ advisory, and children’s services; WHEREAS, the Friends’ gift of their time and commitment to the library sets an example for all in how volunteerism leads to positive civic engagement and the betterment of our community;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Steve Burdo, Mayor of the Town of San Anselmo proclaim October 18-24, 2026, as Friends of Libraries Week, and urge everyone to join the Friends of the Library and thank them for all they do to make our library and community so much better.
CONCLUSION
To proclaim National Friends of Libraries Week unites the San Anselmo Town Council with jurisdictions across the nation to show support not only for the Friends of the San Anselmo Library but for all Friends Groups and the work they do.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this item.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The adoption of the attached Proclamation declaring October 18-24, 2026 as National Library Week is not a “project” pursuant to Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and is therefore not subject to review pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

40 Item #: 2.1
STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Discussion Item Regarding Tobacco Sales Regulations FROM: Linda Kenton, Assistant Town Manager
Emily Longfellow, Assistant Town Attorney
RECOMMENDATION Discuss tobacco sales regulations and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2026, the Council held a discussion item regarding tobacco regulation in San Anselmo. The staff report from that meeting is included as Attachment 1 and here.
During public comment, representatives from Marin County Health and Human Services (HHS) and local advocates presented information regarding the health and economic impacts of tobacco use, including its disproportionate effects on youth and vulnerable populations, and outlined the County's strategy for reducing tobacco use through coordinated local action.
The Council did not reach consensus on a direction and asked the staff to return with additional information.
DISCUSSION
Staff has identified four options for the Council’s consideration:
1) Adopt the County’s model ordinance establishing minimum floor prices for tobacco products.
2) Ban all tobacco sales.
3) Ban all tobacco sales, with an exception for cigars. 4) Take no action.
Option 1: Minimum Price Floor Ordinance
41 Item #: 2.1
Minimum floor price regulations seek to reduce tobacco use by raising the cost of tobacco products. The Marin County Board of Supervisors adopted a model ordinance on November 18, 2025, applicable to unincorporated Marin (Marin County Code, Chapter 5-76). Fairfax adopted the model ordinance on February 4, 2026, adding a prohibition on the sale of tobacco and nicotine pouches. Sausalito adopted the same ordinance on May 5, 2026.
The model Ordinance would:
Establish minimum prices. Sales below the following minimum displayed prices would be prohibited:
o Conventional cigarettes: $12 per package of 20, plus $2 for each additional cigarette.
o Little cigars: $12 per package of 5, plus $3 for each additional little cigar. o Cigars: $6 per cigar in a package of 2; $12 for a single cigar. o Smokeless tobacco: $12 per package.
Prohibit the sale of certain products, including electronic smoking devices, heated smoking systems (including related components and parts), and tobacco or nicotine pouches.
Prohibit discounts and require pricing transparency, including:
o Prohibiting retailers from honoring coupons or offering discounts on tobacco products.
o Requiring retailers to prominently display prices.
o Requiring that tobacco products be sold only in the manufacturer's packaging, in compliance with federal labeling and child-resistant packaging requirements.
Adjust minimum prices over time. Minimum prices would increase by $1 every two years after the effective date, unless the Council adopts a different adjustment by ordinance or resolution.
Option 2: Tobacco Ban
42 Item #: 2.1
Tiburon and Ross each adopted ordinances banning the sale of tobacco and nicotine products in their jurisdictions, although neither town had retailers that sold tobacco or nicotine products at the time. Corte Madera and Mill Valley have also approved bans on the sale of all tobacco products. Beverly Hills adopted a similar tobacco-sale ban in 2021, with limited exceptions. Studies of the Beverly Hills ordinance showed that the ban did not reduce sales of non-tobacco products at the affected stores, nor did it increase sales of tobacco in stores in surrounding areas. 1 A ban may prohibit the sale of all tobacco products or only certain types. 2It may also include exceptions for specific products, such as cigars, or allow existing businesses to continue operating. For example, Beverly Hills exempted existing cigar lounges and certain hotels.
A ban should give existing retailers a reasonable phase-out period to transition their businesses and recover investments made in reliance on prior law. Beverly Hills provided 18 months before its ban took effect. A ban ordinance may also include a hardship exemption allowing additional time for retailers who demonstrate a particular hardship.
Option 3: Ban on Tobacco Sales with an Exception for Cigars This option is the same as Option 2 but would allow the continued sale of cigars. A cigar is defined as a product consisting of three parts: inner filler tobacco, a binder leaf, and an outer wrapper leaf.
Option 4: Take No Action
Existing tobacco sales regulations would remain in place.
Conclusion.
Staff seeks direction regarding whether the Town Council would like to consider tobacco regulations. As noted above, staff suggests the Town Council has four general options:
- Tobacco Product Minimum Floor Pricing regulations.
- Tobacco Product Ban.
1 See Boston University School of Public Health article here. 2 By way of comparison, State law banning the sale of flavored tobacco specifically exempts premium cigars and looseleaf tobacco. (Note that State law allows local jurisdictions to adopt more stringent regulations.)
43 Item #: 2.1
- Tobacco Product Ban with Exception for Cigars.
- Take no action.
If Council opts for a Tobacco Product Ban, with or without exception for cigars, or a minimum floor pricing ordinance, staff will return with an ordinance for Council review and adoption at a future meeting.
The following details the current state of Tobacco Retail Sales Regulations in Marin County.

Staff also worked with Marin County HHS, local stakeholders, and the business community to better understand the County's ordinance, its anticipated impacts and implementation, and the potential impacts of a full ban on local businesses.
All public comments received before publication of the agenda packet are included as Attachment 3.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the Town associated with the County-aligned, price-floor ordinance because compliance monitoring is covered by the County of Marin, which has an MOU with the Marin County Sheriff to conduct compliance checks for all tobacco retail outlets in Marin County. Similarly, a tobacco ban would not result in any long term significant fiscal impacts. Minimal costs would be associated with community outreach and education in the beginning phases of either regulation.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
This discussion item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code section 21065. The Climate Action Plan is not implicated.

BACKGROUND
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, including approximately 230 deaths in Marin County annually.
1 The majority of tobacco use
begins in the teen years and tobacco companies spend significant resources in marketing to young people.2 Additionally, cigarettes and smoking-related material cause pollution with over 76,571 metric tons of cigarette butts and 150 million disposable ecigarettes entering the environment each year, containing plastic and heavy metals.3 San Anselmo has a history of regulating tobacco and smoking activities in an effort to reduce its harms to public health. The Town’s actions mirror other jurisdictions in Marin and throughout California. The Town’s smoking codes are found in SAMC Chapter 4-15 (Smoking restrictions) and 6-7 (Tobacco Retailer License). The following is a summary of the Town’s actions:
2007 Smoking prohibited in certain public areas including Town parks and playgrounds, outdoor dining areas, and within 20 feet of entrances/exits. 2014 Smoking prohibited in multi-family residential buildings. 2015 Vaping and e-cigarettes included in definition of smoking. 2019 Sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products banned and Tobacco Retailer License required for sales.
The Marin County Tobacco and Nicotine Prevention Program (TNPP, within the County’s Department of Health and Human Services) works to reduce the use and

availability of tobacco and nicotine products, prevent youth addiction to tobacco and nicotine, and encourages local cities to take active roles in doing the same, in part, by adopting local ordinances including the model Ordinance, described below.
County staff drafted a model Ordinance to curb tobacco and nicotine use by implementing a minimum floor price law and related restrictions regarding the sale of tobacco and nicotine products. The County adopted the model Ordinance on November 18, 2025, for Unincorporated Marin. (Marin County Code, Chapter 5-76.) Following the County’s lead, neighboring municipalities have adopted or are considering similar ordinances. For example, Fairfax adopted the County’s model Ordinance on February 4, 2026, with the addition of a prohibition against the sale of tobacco or nicotine pouches. Corte Madera also adopted the model Ordinance with the tobacco/nicotine pouch prohibition on March 17, 2026, and Sausalito adopted the same on May 5, 2026. Additionally, last fall, Tiburon and Ross each adopted ordinances banning the sale of tobacco and nicotine products in their jurisdictions (although neither town had retailers that sold tobacco or nicotine products).4 Attachment 1 details the Marin County tobacco and nicotine products regulations by jurisdiction.
Several local tobacco- and nicotine-prevention organizations support the local adoption of the model Ordinance including the Smoke-Free Marin Coalition and Youth Advocacy Committee, Marin County, whose informational material may be found in Attachment 2.
DISCUSSION
Staff brings forward the current discussion item seeking Town Council direction regarding consideration of the model Ordinance. Below please find a summary of the model Ordinance including the additional provisions by Fairfax, Corte Madera, and Sausalito banning nicotine/tobacco pouches.
The model Ordinance would:
Establish minimum floor prices and package requirements for the following products by prohibiting sales below the minimum “Displayed Price”:
- Conventional Cigarettes at a Displayed Price that is less than twelve dollars ($12) per package of twenty (20) Conventional Cigarettes, plus two dollars ($2) for each additional Conventional Cigarette. - Little Cigars at a Displayed Price that is less than twelve dollars ($12) per package of five (5) Little Cigars, plus three dollars ($3) for each additional Little Cigar.
4 Beverly Hills adopted a similar tobacco-sale ban in 2021, with limited exceptions. 48 Item #:
- Cigars at a Displayed Price that is less than six dollars ($6) per Cigar enclosed in a package of two (2); single Cigars at less than twelve dollars ($12) per Cigar.
- Smokeless Tobacco at a Displayed Price of less than twelve dollars ($12) per package.
Prohibit sales of certain products, including:
- Any Electronic Smoking Device or Heated Smoking System (including related components and parts).
- Any Tobacco or Nicotine Pouches.
Prohibit discounts and require pricing transparency, including:
- Prohibiting tobacco retailers from honoring coupons or providing discounts on any tobacco product.
- Requiring tobacco retailers to prominently display pricing. - Requiring sale of tobacco products only in the manufacturer’s packaging that conforms to applicable federal labeling and child-resistant packaging requirements.
Minimum price adjustments. Every 2 years after the effective date, the minimum prices for tobacco products shall increase by $1 unless the Town Council adopts a different adjustment by ordinance or resolution. Implementation and enforcement. Staff proposes enforcement start date of September 1, 2026 or later, to align with the County’s enforcement date. This would allow time for outreach and retailer training. The County staff training would provide retailer training, including live trainings and short videos. Enforcement would be handled by the Marin County Sheriff's Office under the County program at no cost to the Town.
Letters were mailed to all merchants with Tobacco Retail Licenses on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, to alert and to invite comments on this item. Attachment 3 identifies San Anselmo merchants that currently sell tobacco and nicotine products.
Staff seeks direction as to whether the Council would like staff to return with a proposed Ordinance regulating the sale of tobacco and nicotine products as described herein.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the Town’s budget associated with the potential adoption of this County-aligned ordinance. Compliance monitoring is covered by the County of Marin, which has an MOU with the Marin County Sheriff to conduct compliance checks for all tobacco retail outlets in Marin County. Per Marin County’s Tobacco Related Disease Control Program, there would be no added cost for compliance, as they have an agreement to continue with the MOU for upcoming years. Costs related to additional 49 Item #:
outreach and workshop needs would depend on Council direction regarding more restrictive options.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
This discussion item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code section 21065. The Climate Action Plan is not implicated.
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss tobacco sale regulations and provide direction to staff.

Notice Regarding Upcoming Town Council Information item to consider Price Floor Regulations for certain Tobacco and Nicotine Products, a Complete Tobacco Product Ban, with possible carve out for cigar products or taking no action at all.
Dear Business Owner:
The San Anselmo Town Council will receive an informational item on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, to receive public comment and consider four possible courses of action on Tobacco products:
• Establish minimum prices for certain tobacco products, • A Complete Tobacco Product ban
• A Complete Tobacco Product ban, with a possible carve out for cigar products • Take no action on Tobacco Products
The model ordinance was drafted by Marin County Tobacco and Nicotine Prevention Program staff and is intended to reduce the use and availability of tobacco and nicotine products and prevent youth addiction to tobacco and nicotine. Similar ordinances have been adopted by the County of Marin, Fairfax, Corte Madera, and Sausalito.
The model Ordinance would:
• Establish minimum floor prices and package requirements for the following products by prohibiting sales below the minimum “Displayed Price”:
• Conventional Cigarettes at a Displayed Price that is less than twelve dollars ($12) per package of twenty (20) Conventional Cigarettes, plus two dollars ($2) for each additional Conventional Cigarette.
• Little Cigars at a Displayed Price that is less than twelve dollars ($12) per package of five (5) Little Cigars, plus three dollars ($3) for each additional Little Cigar. • Cigars at a Displayed Price that is less than six dollars ($6) per Cigar enclosed in a package of two (2); single Cigars at less than twelve dollars ($12) per Cigar. • Smokeless Tobacco at a Displayed Price of less than twelve dollars ($12) per package.
• Prohibit sales of certain products, including:
• Any Electronic Smoking Device or Heated Smoking System (including related - components and parts).
• Any Tobacco or Nicotine Pouches.

- Prohibiting tobacco retailers from honoring coupons or providing discounts on any tobacco product.
- Requiring tobacco retailers to prominently display pricing. - Requiring sale of tobacco products only in the manufacturer’s packaging that conforms to applicable federal labeling and child-resistant packaging requirements. - Minimum price adjustments. Every 2 years after the effective date, the minimum prices for tobacco products shall increase by $1 unless the Town Council adopts a different adjustment by ordinance or resolution.
The Tobacco Ban would:
A tobacco ban can prohibit the sale of all, or certain types, of tobacco products. It can also allow specific carve outs for types of products (such as cigars) or provide that existing businesses are “grandfathered” in and are allowed to continue to operate.
Take No Action:
The Town Council can take no action on regulating Tobacco products in the Town.
The Town Council meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall Council Chambers, 525 San Anselmo Ave, CA.

Proposed tobacco ban

Greetings,
Though I live in Fairfax, because I’m on the border of San Anselmo I often shop there or walk through and enjoy the neighborly relationships we have.
I’m writing with concern about the proposed ban on electronic nicotine devices. As a clergy-person, and adult child of former smokers, I share the Council’s concern about youth nicotine use. Public health policy is best when it considers harm-reduction as an option, and must be judged by outcomes, not intentions. When we look carefully at the evidence, a blanket vaping ban risks more harm than good.
There are two central issues: relative risk and unintended consequences.
First, it’s true that vaping is not harmless — but it is substantially less harmful than combustible tobacco. The distinction is combustion. Cigarettes kill because they burn tobacco, producing tar and thousands of toxic byproducts that cause cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. Electronic nicotine devices eliminate combustion.
That difference is not trivial; it is the central driver of tobacco-related mortality.
Public health authorities in the UK have embraced this harm-reduction principle. The National Health Service provides guidance supporting regulated vaping products as a tool to help adult smokers quit combustible cigarettes. Their position is not that vaping is risk-free. It is that relative risk matters. If a smoker switches completely from combustible tobacco to a non-combustible alternative, the health risk drops dramatically.
I encourage you to take that principle seriously in San Anselmo. Combustible tobacco is responsible for the overwhelming majority of tobacco-related disease and death. If adults in our community have already switched from smoking to vaping — or are using vaping as a pathway to quit — banning these products removes a lower-risk alternative while leaving cigarettes legally available in nearby towns and cities.
As policymakers, please consider the possibility that removing access to lower-risk alternatives can unintentionally drive people back toward more dangerous combustible products. If a policy reduces vaping but increases smoking, the net public health impact may be negative.
Second, prohibition and illicit markets tend to move together. Tobacco sales to anyone under 21 are already illegal under federal and state law. If minors are accessing electronic nicotine devices, that suggests enforcement 53 failures, fake identification, or purchases occurring outside town limits. A San Anselmo only retail ban does little to address those realities.
Instead, it shifts adult purchasing behavior to neighboring jurisdictions and risks encouraging informal or unregulated supply channels. History shows that when legal markets disappear but demand remains, gray markets fill the gap.
It is also worth examining the consistency of our approach. If San Anselmo bans smokeless nicotine products while continuing to allow combustible cigarettes and cigars, we are effectively prohibiting the lower-risk products and permitting the most harmful ones. That is difficult to reconcile with a harm-reduction framework.
Public health has succeeded before by embracing harm reduction — from needle exchange programs to medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The principle is straightforward: reduce the most dangerous forms of behavior first. In the context of tobacco, that means focusing on combustible products.
If the Council’s goal is to reduce tobacco-related disease and death in San Anselmo, a more coherent approach would include strict enforcement of age restrictions, retailer accountability, education initiatives, and — if we are serious about reducing harm — stronger action on combustible tobacco products.
I share the concern about youth nicotine use. But banning smokeless alternatives while leaving the products that cause the greatest harm on store shelves is misguided. San Anselmo can pursue a smarter path — one that protects young people while recognizing that harm reduction for adults saves lives.
Respectfully,
————————

Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
I support an exemption for Ludwig's.
Sometimes a reasonable exemption is more appropriate than a blanket ruling. I don't smoke cigars but I treasure the legacy of a long-time business that serves a niche need. Over the recent years I've seen entirely too many long-established Marin businesses being forced to close.
I think legacy businesses (mom and pop shops) provide value to local communities.

Opposition to Proposed Tobacco Sales Ban

Subject: Opposition to Proposed Tobacco Sales Ban
Dear Mayor Burdo and Members of the Town Council,
I am writing to express my opposition to any proposal that would completely prohibit the sale of tobacco products in San Anselmo, including premium cigars.
I support reasonable regulations designed to keep tobacco products away from minors. Tobacco sales are already restricted to adults 21 and older. My concern is with moving beyond age restrictions and reasonable regulation to an outright prohibition on what informed adults are permitted to purchase.
Adults should be able to make their own decisions about legal products, including products that carry known health risks. Government has an appropriate role in protecting minors, ensuring consumers are informed, and addressing harms imposed on others. But prohibiting an adult from purchasing a premium cigar because government officials have determined that the product is unhealthy crosses a very different line.
This is also a broader question of principle. Many lawful products involve health risks. Alcohol and foods high in sugar are obvious examples. I am not suggesting that San Anselmo intends to prohibit those products. The point is that once potential harm to the person consuming a product becomes sufficient justification for prohibiting its sale to adults, where is the limiting principle? Premium cigars also should not be lumped together with products that have generated particular concern about youth use. Federal research has found pastmonth premium-cigar use among youth under 18 to be extremely uncommon— about 0.1% in an analysis covering 2010–2019. That is a very different usage pattern from vaping and other nicotine products that are much more prevalent among young people. In 2025, for example, 5.2% of middle and high school 56 students reported current e-cigarette use, compared with 1.1% reporting any cigar use.
There is a meaningful difference between regulating tobacco and prohibiting adults from buying it altogether. I urge the Council to preserve that distinction. Enforce the existing age restrictions, protect minors, and regulate where necessary, but allow adults to make their own informed choices.

RE: Preventing Addiction, Illness and Death by Ending the Sale of All Commercial Tobacco and Nicotine Products
Dear Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Members of San Anselmo Town Council:
On behalf of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), I am pleased to offer full support to ending the sale of all commercial tobacco and nicotine products in San Anselmo, with no exemptions.
ASH is the nation’s oldest anti-tobacco organization, formed in response to the 1964 Surgeon General’s report that definitively connected tobacco use with disease and death. ASH has worked at the local, state, national and global levels to end the tobacco epidemic. In 2018, ASH launched Project Sunset, a campaign to phase out the sale of commercial tobacco products. We chair a national steering committee of prominent public health professionals dedicated to this cause. We also co-chair a global committee working to replicate the U.S. effort in other regions and countries.
Since we started, the concept of tobacco “endgame” has transformed from a fringe idea to a widely embraced mandate to finally end the tobacco epidemic. Tobacco endgame measures have been implemented in 30 jurisdictions worldwide.
Commercial tobacco is widely recognized as the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the world and is the only consumer product that kills when used as directed. As a result of aggressive tobacco industry targeting, smoking disproportionately affects communities of color, low-income individuals, unhoused people, LGBTQ+ people, and those suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders. In fact, the 2024 United States Surgeon General’s Report identifies addressing persistent disparities as integral to the elimination of tobacco-related disease and death.
There is no safe form of tobacco – cigars and premium cigars cause harm to users and bystanders; therefore, they should not be exempted. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conclude, “There is conclusive evidence that smoke from cigars in general, including premium cigar smoke, contains many hazardous and potentially hazardous constituents, capable of causing cardiovascular disease, lung disease, cancer, and multiple other negative health effects… There is conclusive evidence that the chemical nature of emissions from cigars in general, including premium cigars, are similar to those of cigarette smoke. There is strong biological plausibility that exposure to these chemicals will cause disease.”

The California Department of Public Health has a vision of ending the tobacco epidemic, and the city of San Anselmo can be a leader in this area. Access to tobacco products by youth is a problem in San Anselmo. In fact, the 2023 California Youth Tobacco Survey (CYTS) revealed that the county group of Marin/Napa had the highest current use of any tobacco products in California, with
17.4% of middle and high school students responding that they currently use tobacco products, vapes, and/or cigarettes. by California county or county grouping.
The best way to reduce tobacco-related illness and death and promote health equity is to prevent youth and vulnerable community members from starting to smoke in the first place, beginning with eliminating access to the tobacco industry’s harmful products. Four cities in California, Ross, Tiburon, Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach, have already passed and implemented commercial tobacco sales bans without legal retaliation, showing that such a policy is indeed feasible. San Anselmo can join the charge to shift the paradigm from regulating tobacco products to stopping the sale of all commercial tobacco, setting a precedent for other jurisdictions to follow, and paving the way for tobacco-free generations to come.
The tobacco industry has been addicting people – mostly as children – for generations and is by far the biggest cause of preventable death in California and the world. The industry sells products that addict and kill when used precisely as intended. No other industry gets to do that. If a similar product were introduced to the market tomorrow, they would immediately be taken off shelves and the people behind it would likely be arrested. We need to take away Big Tobacco’s free pass.
ASH is connected to endgame experts across the nation and globe. If there is any way we or any of our colleagues can assist you as you consider this important ordinance, please do not hesitate.
Sincerely,
Laurent Huber
Executive Director

Hello Town of San Anselmo,
I am writing in support of Ludwig’s, a heritage San Anselmo business, to retain the ability to sell pipe tobacco and premium cigars.
I otherwise support the town’s mission to enact a ban on nicotine sales.
As a lifelong Ross Valley resident, I grew up shopping in San Anselmo in the 70s and 80s and Ludwig’s is a local treasure. They somehow are a liquor store on the corner in the center of town that elevates the aesthetic rather than sullies it. And have been that way for decades.
Find a way to protect the ongoing presence of a business like Ludwig’s. Allowing them to retain their pipe tobacco and premium cigar sales is not going to undermine the overall effort to impede nicotine use as it is the cigarettes and vapes that are the primary targets.

Hello,
I'm writing as a long time resident on behalf of Ludwig's. We have been going to Ludwig's for over a decade to buy gifts and yes, to buy cigars. We are parents of young children, and understand the harm of nicotine. Yet, an all out ban hurts our local businesses like Ludwig's and really does nothing for youth, who are vaping and smoking weed, NOT smoking premium, hand-rolled cigars. It has been devastating seeing so many local businesses closing their doors all around the area - Hummingbird Cafe, the little prenatal yoga studio next to Taco Jane's, 123 Bolinas, Fairfax Market, Keinz hall and on and on. Let's focus on letting small businesses thrive instead of government overreach that hurts people's ability to make a living in a very tough economy. With AI coming, gas prices insane and climate devastation, the last thing we need is another business shuttered, and another family struggling to get by, make ends meet, and needing to drive far away to make a living. Please consider a more moderate and fair approach.

San Anselmo Should Reconsider Its Vaping Ban—Prohibition doesn’t work My name is Mick Bruckner. I live in San Anselmo (57 Tamalpais Ave) and work in Fairfax, and I oppose the proposed ban on electronic nicotine devices. I share the Council’s concern about youth nicotine use. But public health policy must be judged by outcomes, not intentions. When we look carefully at the evidence, a blanket vaping ban risks doing more harm than good.
There are two central issues: relative risk and unintended consequences.

If adults in our community have already switched from smoking to vaping — or are using vaping as a pathway to quit — banning these products removes a lowerrisk alternative while leaving cigarettes legally available in nearby towns and cities.
Emerging research also suggests that vaping bans may create substitution effects. A 2024 study published in JAMA Health Forum found that state flavored e-cigarette restrictions were associated with decreased vaping among young adults — but also with increased cigarette smoking in that same group. Research published in Health Economics reported similar patterns. Earlier work examining the 2019 emergency vaping bans found increases in cigarette sales following restrictions on electronic nicotine products.
These findings do not mean youth vaping should be ignored. They do mean policymakers should consider the possibility that removing access to lower-risk alternatives can unintentionally drive people back toward more 67 dangerous combustible products. If a policy reduces vaping but increases smoking, the net public health impact may be negative.
Second, prohibition and illicit markets tend to move together. Tobacco sales to anyone under 21 are already illegal under federal and state law. If minors are accessing electronic nicotine devices, that suggests enforcement failures, fake identification, or purchases occurring outside town limits.

If San Anselmo bans smokeless nicotine products while continuing to allow combustible cigarettes and cigars, we are effectively prohibiting the lower-risk products and permitting the most harmful ones. That is difficult to reconcile with a harm-reduction framework.
Researchers affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco have raised serious concerns about vaping, including youth uptake and dual use. Those concerns deserve thoughtful engagement. Nicotine is addictive. Youth initiation should be prevented. But randomized controlled trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine have found e-cigarettes more effective for smoking cessation than traditional nicotine replacement therapies. Population-level data on substitution effects complicate the argument that bans uniformly improve public health.
Public health has succeeded before by embracing harm reduction — from needle exchange programs to medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The principle is straightforward: reduce the most dangerous forms of behavior first. In the context of tobacco, that means focusing on combustible products.

To Town Council -
As a long time business presence in San Anselmo, I fully support the premium cigar carve out. Do not ban Ludwig’s from selling cigars. Ludwig’s is a business that provides a destination for specialty products that bring commerce to our little city without causing harm. A blanket approach goes way too far.

I am adult, I do not smoke tobacco and I am anti-tobacco in many ways. I also have a strong opinion on keeping our local businesses successful and continuing to provide our community with supplies people enjoy purchasing. I hope you will clearly think about the fact that Ludwigs and probably other stores sell cigars to adults who enjoy them. Kids do not have interest in smoking cigars and of course businesses would not sell them to a minor anyway. Do not ban cigar sales as they are important for certain clients and important to the bottom line of the businesses that sell them. Again, please think clearly on this. We do not want businesses to close because of ill conceived blanket laws that make no sense whatsoever. Sure, if you must ban cigarette, vapes, and chewing tobacco if they are being sold to minors. Cigars are a luxury item for adults who enjoy them. Thank you for taking a step back and looking with a clear vision at this issue. Long live Ludwigs and long live logical thought.

Dear San Anselmo Town Council and Officials,
My family has lived and operated a small business in Marin County for more than 60 years. Seeing the legacy businesses, such as Ludwig’s Fine Wines, lose their family business is deeply upsetting. I am not a tobacco smoker nor do I drink alcohol, but I appreciate the right of others to do so. As such, I am against a tobacco ban. The amount of money raised from “sin taxes“ is sizable. My town of Corte Madera recently passed the tobacco ban after ignoring the plights of small local businesses which struggle to survive in this economy.
If you’re going to start prohibiting cancer- causing products, prohibit paper receipts, alcohol, paint, Cheetos, sugar, food additives etc. etc. Your supposed moral high ground is costing local people their livelihoods. Please stop this nonsense. Our Corte Madera businesses have had no infractions of selling nicotine to minors. I would bet San Anselmo can claim the same standards. Stop the ban on nicotine sales.
Sincerely,
Lori Callies

Dear Town Council of San Anselmo
I am a small business owner in Kentfield writing to express my support for Ludwig's regarding their ability to sell cigars.
Operating a small business in our area comes with high overhead costs, including elevated rent and wages. I am not complaining. I love having a business here, but running one here involves costs. Our local businesses rely heavily on sales to remain viable. With wine and alcohol sales already down, a ban on cigar sales could jeopardize their business.
Please consider adapting your regulations regarding tobacco sales to support this local business and help them remain operational.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Savila,
Please do not ban Ludwig’s from selling cigars or pipe tobacco .
Ludwigs is a long standing San Anselmo family business with wonderful owners who support our town.
I fully believe youth are not going to purchase $30 cigars. One solution, keep their humidor room locked and only allow customers over legal smoking age to enter.
Ludwigs needs the cigar sales to exist as a viable business and there must be a solution to keep everyone happy.

Comment on potential cigar ban
From Warren Dodge <[email protected]>
Date Mon 9/28/2026 8:52 AM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
I am a 25-year resident of downtown San Anselmo. I raised my three daughters here, all of whom attended our public schools, and I care deeply about this community and the health and well-being of its children.
I have also enjoyed premium cigars for more than 30 years. I purchase most of them from Ludwig’s and am in the store several times a week. In all that time, I have never seen a minor purchase a product there. In fact, I cannot recall ever seeing a minor enter the store, much less its enclosed cigar humidor.
I strongly support efforts to keep cigarettes, vapes, flavored nicotine pouches, and other tobacco and nicotine products marketed to young people out of the hands of children. I applaud the Town Council for taking that issue seriously.
But I strongly disagree with including premium cigars in the same ban.
Premium cigars are a fundamentally different product, sold to a fundamentally different customer. I would ask the Council a simple question: Have you ever seen a teenager smoking a $30 premium cigar?
Including premium cigars in this ban would do little, if anything, to address youth tobacco use. What it would do is harm a beloved, long-standing San Anselmo merchant and local family. It would not eliminate the sale of premium cigars. It would simply send customers like me to Mill Valley to purchase them from Telford’s, which, like Ludwig’s, maintains a strict policy against sales to minors.
I urge the Council to distinguish between products that present a genuine youth-access concern and premium cigars sold by responsible, adult-oriented specialty retailers. Please do not unintentionally harm a valued local business in an effort to solve a problem that, in this case, does not appear to exist.
I respectfully ask that premium cigars be excluded from the proposed ban.
I would be happy to discuss this with any member of the Council and am available at your convenience.

Hello,
I was recently made aware via Next Door of a proposed blanket ban on tobacco sales in the town, and the potential impact on Ludwig’s business
Ludwig’s is a charming, unique and to my mind very San Anselmo store I would ask the town council to reconsider such a move which would negatively impact their business - no doubt already facing headwinds - for what would be surely next to no positive health impact, given the nature of cigars and their role as an occasional indulgence for adults, able to make up their own minds about their own lifestyle choices
I appreciate your consideration

I want to write in support of Ludwig's, a wonderful example of a small town shop that contributes to the community. This is exactly the type of shop/people we want here forever.
When my son was honorably discharged from the Army I went in to get a couple of celebratory cigars for him and his Uncle to share. They were so kind and helpful, then donated the cigars when they heard my son had served.
People generally smoke cigars and pipes the way a few friends get together over a glass or two of wine. Unlike cigarettes, it's usually not a constant addiction-like habit. It's very much an adult pastime.
This story is certainly not going to risk its business by selling to children.
While I support restricting any tobacco product sold to children, a ban affecting good stores like Ludwig's is overkill. The town of San Anselmo should not be a part of the present government's continuing effort to restrict the rights of adult Americans.
I hope you do the right thing.

Please Consider a Narrower Approach to the Tobacco Sales Ban From Mariano Ferrario <[email protected]>

Dear Town Council,
I strongly support the Town’s efforts to reduce youth nicotine use, particularly from products like vapes, cigarettes, and nicotine pouches.
I also regularly shop at Ludwig’s and value having a long-standing, independent business like it in our downtown. I’m concerned that a blanket ban on all tobacco products could have significant unintended consequences for a local business without being sufficiently tailored to the problem the Town is trying to address.
Tobacco retail is already subject to significant state and local regulation, including licensing, a 21+ minimum age, restrictions on flavored products, and enforcement and penalties for violations.
Rather than adopting a total ban, I encourage the Council to consider a more targeted policy that addresses youth nicotine use while continuing to allow the sale of premium cigars under strict age requirements. This would allow the Town to take strong action to protect young people while recognizing that not every tobacco product or retail environment presents the same policy considerations.
I hope the Council will consider this more nuanced approach.
Thank you,
Mariano Ferrario

Hello. Among the things that make San Anselmo special are the local shops and unique and specialty gifts you can find there. I believe allowing stores to sell premium cigars doesn’t jeopardize the safety of children, or even adults. This item is the kind of thing people buy for a milestone event, not really something people use regularly. Sold in a safe environment, behind locked doors for age-appropriate people to purchase, pills, very appropriate, as opposed to as sweeping no sale of any tobacco type of ban. I don’t even smoke cigars, but I like the idea that if somebody had a baby, I could gift them a couple of cigars for traditional purposes. Or I could buy a cigar for someone’s retirement party or bachelor party. I don’t think there’s a one size fit all for our unique little town. It’s hard for a lot of stores to even make it go of it these days and stay in business, I don’t want this to be the final straw that puts people out of business because it takes revenue away from them.
Thank you for considering this.

We respectfully ask that there be a carve out for premium cigars that are sold at Ludwigs and any other establishment in town.
There is already a criteria that one must be over 21 years old to purchase cigars.
This ban will hurt a long time town business that has been a mainstay in the neighborhood and shouldn't have their business negatively impacted.

Please rethink the tobacco ban as it unfairly targets a small business who abides by the current law and is a pillar of our community. Banning the sale of cigars is not going to solve the problem you are seeking to address. State law expressly forbids the sale of tobacco to minors just as it does for liquor. We don’t need new laws when old laws simply need to be enforced.

tobacco ban - Ludwigs and other businesses

To Town Council <[email protected]>; Serge Avila <[email protected]> You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important CAUTION: External Sender
Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
I am writing to all of you to voice my support for Ludwigs in town. It is my understanding from numerous posts that San Anselmo is potentially looking to implement a full tobacco ban and folks are being encouraged to attend an October TC meeting to learn more or speak up.
I am very aware of the nationwide assault on corporate entities who have developed vape pens originally stating ther were to be used for smoking cessation. It has been a complete joke and in my opinion has caused health and safety issues already among youth but the true long term consequences are yet to be seen. I am in full support of all of these products being removed from store and local shop shelves as they absolutely play into the youth culture and we should for sure create a safety net as best as we can.
As far as the banning of the cigars...I don't get that at all. I am even one to go out on a limb and say that unless cigarettes are illegal substances, why would the sale of them be banned.
I've never been a cigar smoker but I have raised two teens in San Anselmo who graduated from our public HS so I know the environment for young people in San Anselmo, Fairfax and throughout Marin. The biggest issues that continue to need addressing in town and throughout the county is alcohol consumption and access, drug use (cocaine, molly, etc) and access to prescription pills in medicine cabinets throughout Marin. We have lost more youth in my short 24 years here than we ever should have from multiple overdoses to fentanyl laced pills and substances, car crashes from being drunk, to a horrific death of a student jumping off of a porch due to drugs. The stories are beyond heartbreaking.
I also think we need to push more efforts into access of alcohol and drugs and how to mitigate it as a community in the best way possible to keep kids safe. Currently it is so easy for young people to steal beer and liquor from our local Safeway with no questions asked given "no chase law" protection. I cannot tell you the many times I have been parked at Redhill over the years while shopping there and have watched teens walk out with confidence carrying two 12 packs in each arm or a large handle of booze. Not a security person or police officer in sight. This is not new news but it is something that I believe deserves more attention that a ban on all tobacco to keep youth safe.
And lastly, in the 24 years here and watching and knowing the many teens, I never once have seen teens smoking cigars. Just for perspective, I'm the mom that raised the money in 2016 to get the Skatepark and Basketball park built at Memorial Park. I care about teens and I know they needed more then and they need more now.
So I completely understand and support banning the sales of vape products in our small towns. And I think for cigarettes it would make sense to have effective and enforceable consequences for local 100
businesses who choose to sell cigarettes to minors but I do not agree on the ban of cigars for sale in town.
I don't smoke them nor do I smoke cigarettes but banning cigars and hurting businesses like Ludwigs doesn't seem to me to solve the problem of keeping our young adults safe.
I appreciate you listening to me today and hope that you will do the right thing.
Thank you,
Lisa

Hello Town Council,
I am writing to support Ludwig’s Fine Wine in continuing to sell cigars, allowing their business to stay in our community. They have been part of San Anselmo for over 50 years and continuously contribute to the town, as shown by one of the owners, Barbara Hunt Nazari, receiving the 2026 "The Business Citizen of the Year" award here in San Anselmo. How does the Town both tell someone they greatly appreciate their services and support, and then, the next moment, threaten to close their business by banning a product they sell that is vital to the business's survival?
It would be tragic to lose them due to this ban. I encourage you to create a plan that carves out an option for legacy small businesses selling premium cigars so that they may continue to be part of this community.
Sincerely,
Theresa

While I understand the fundamental idea of banning tobacco sales in our town, Ludwig’s will be hurt badly. This is a business that’s been here for over 40 years. Teens are not seeking to buy cigars - this hurts small businesses!

Dear Town Council,
As a Marin resident of many decades, I enjoy supporting our locally owned small businesses. It’s important to support them.
Please allow the owners of Ludwig’s their request: a reasonable carve-out for Premium Cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments, mirroring standard legal definitions used across California. Kids do not purchase expensive cigars and maintaining our small businesses is critical. Please add my name to the numerous other Ludwig’s supporters.

Ludwigs and tobacco ban

I understand from a Next Door post that the town is proposing to negatively impact Ludwigs in its efforts to ban tobacco product sales.
To be clear, I am not a cigar user or even a smoker. I don’t like being around smokers. I support most common sense initiatives to prevent illnesses from tobacco products, especially underage use. However, this shop is a jewel and clearly is a specialty provider of high end tobacco products v.s. just regular cigarettes and vapes. They even have the product stored behind closed doors.
Including them in a far-sweeping ban is short-sighted and wholly unfair, and it will likely hurt their business - which is NOT something I would be happy about for our San Anselmo business community.
I am hoping that common sense would prevail. Leave Ludwigs alone.
Thank you from a 30+ year San Anselmo resident.

CAUTION: External Sender
Good afternoon members of the Town Council,
My name is Jonathan Hirsch. I am a Redwood teacher, and the TUPE (Tobacco Use Prevention Education) site coordinator at Redwood High School. More relevant in this context is my role as an Archie parent. I have a junior and a senior at Archie.
It is my concern for the health of the students at Archie that drives me to contact you now. I worry about the normalization of vaping at Archie and the impact that has on the alarming rates of use there compared to surrounding communities.
Since the peak of the vaping epidemic in 2018, according to the California Healthy Kids Survey, rates of vaping among Archie 9th graders have dropped 12%, while rates at Tam have dropped 63% and Redwood have dropped 81%. Archie 9th graders now vape TWICE as much as Redwood 9th graders (slide 4 of link below).
For 11th graders, Redwood students vape 45% less than at the peak in 2018, Tam students vape 42% less, and Archie students vape at exactly the same rate; they have not dropped at all. They vape at nearly 40% more than Redwood or Tam students (slide 5).

Things need to change. You can help.
While limiting access will not entirely eliminate the problem, there is overwhelming research on nicotine (Minnesota, Southern California), cannabis and alcohol that all show the powerful impact that reducing access can have. The work that I have done with teens struggling with substance use over the past nine years consistently shows that only the most addicted will continue to seek out the substance when it is difficult to obtain. You all have the power to nip this use in the bud and keep Archie students from getting to that point in the first place.
Fairfax, your western neighbor, has done their part. Ross, your eastern neighbor, has done their part. Corte Madera has done their part. Mill Valley is on the verge of the same. Tiburon has done their part.
Now it is your turn. Do your part. Pass the ban.

Hi - i’m writing because I’m very concerned about the broad band of tobacco that you are considering later this month
If your concern is youth using vapes, then ban vapes.
For those of us that enjoy the occasional Fine cigar, we appreciate being able to buy them in our neighborhoods in Marin. it seems crazy to ban establishments that sell those.

Public Comment for Oct 13: Please protect Ludwig’s with a sensible premium cigar carve-out From Serena Howeth <[email protected]>

Dear Mayor and Town Council Members,
I’m writing as a local neighbor ahead of the October 13th meeting to ask for a thoughtful adjustment to the proposed total tobacco ban. We all agree on keeping addictive products away from kids, but adopting an inflexible policy will unintentionally undercut Ludwig’s—a 50-year downtown anchor that has always looked out for our town.
It’s hard enough to keep an independent retail door open here as it is. When our small merchants take the initiative to be responsible on their own—as Barbara and Magid did years ago by ditching commercial cigarettes, vape gear, and candy-flavored nicotine—we should be working with them, not pulling the rug out from under them.
A total ban treats a $25 handmade cigar behind a counter the exact same as a disposable fruity vape sold at a gas station. They aren't the same product, and they don't attract the same buyer. The state legislature recognized this exact distinction in SB 793, specifically exempting traditional handmade cigars (under Health & Safety Code § 104559.5(a)(10)). Beverly Hills recognized it too, carving out long-standing cigar merchants when they enacted their own retail ban.
We don't have to choose between protecting our youth and preserving the independent merchants who give San Anselmo its heart. Please tailor this ordinance with a narrow carve-out for traditional premium cigars in adult-only, 21+ settings.
Thank you for your service and for listening to our community.
Warmly,
Serena Howeth

Dear Mayor Burdo and Members of the Town Council,
I have lived in San Anselmo for almost 22 years, and I am writing about the proposed tobacco sales ordinance on your October 13 agenda.
I fully support keeping nicotine away from young people. But I am worried that a total ban would hurt Ludwig's Fine Wine, a family owned store that has been part of our downtown for 50 years. As I understand it, Ludwig's stopped selling cigarettes years ago and has never sold vapes, pouches, or flavored products. The only tobacco it carries is premium handmade cigars, sold to adults 21 and over.
Those are not the products that are drawing kids to nicotine.
I respectfully ask the Council to include a narrow exemption for premium cigars sold by longestablished local retailers with strict age controls. That would keep the ordinance's public health goal intact without costing our town a business that makes downtown San Anselmo what it is.
Thank you for your service and for considering the views of residents.
Sincerely,
Lisa and Michael Imperiale

Hi there,
My name is Jenny Jensen, and I live at 38 San Rafael Ave. I’m writing in support of Ludwig’s in response to the upcoming discussion of a potential ban on all tobacco products. Although I support banning vapes and other tobacco/nicotine products that are most attractive to kids, I think there should be a carve out for niche businesses like Ludwig’s selling premium cigars. I hate cigars and think they’re disgusting, but I don’t think selling them should be illegal. Ludwig’s is a rare small family business that we have supported for years, and I think they should be able to maintain the portion of the business that relies on cigar sales.
Thank you,

While I totally support the banning of cigarettes, especially to teenagers, I think there should be a carve out for Premium Cigars sold in an age gated, 21+ setting.
Ludwigs will have to close their doors if the total ban is passed, and this would be a great loss to the community.
Please vote on a reasonable compromise that allows Ludwigs to stay open and sell cigars to adults.

Dear Town Council,
I'm writing as a local resident to express my support for Ludwig's Fine Cigars and to ask the council to support a premium cigar carve-out for legacy small businesses.
Ludwig's is exactly the kind of independent, long-standing merchant that gives downtown San Anselmo its character. Premium cigars are an adult product sold in a specialty shop — not the driver of teen nicotine use. I urge the council to focus on real, tangible efforts to curb teen nicotine use, and to protect the legacy small businesses that make our downtowns worth visiting.

Dear San Anselmo Town Council:
I am a resident of San Anselmo and do not want the council to vote in a ban on all tobacco products.
While not a user of tobacco products I do not want the local business of Ludwigs to be prohibited from continuing to sell cigars. Such a ban would undermine this local, independent business. The ban would simply push local consumers to not “local" distributors and probably larger entities who would not have reason to value as greatly the specific interests of this community ( I would advocate a ban on the sale of cannabis for the record because it poses a greater threat.) While we appreciate that a ban may be well intended to moderate behavior, such a ban is an overreach and unnecessary.
Thank you.

Subject: Request that Ludwig’s may continue selling cigars.
Dear Honorable Panel:
I am a patron of Ludwig’s Fine Wine, Spirits, and Cigars. I do not imbibe in alcohol, but frequent this establishment almost every day in order to procure a cigar or two for my nightly walk along the water in Sausalito.
I am writing you out of concern that restrictions may be imposed preventing the sale of cigars/tobacco in San Anselmo.
Please allow me to share some of my thoughts regarding this.
My daily visit to Ludwig’s is a high point in my day. I could easily buy a box or two of cigars, and be set for a month or more before having to replenish my supply, but by taking a side trip to San Anselmo each day, I see the folks at Ludwig’s, shoot the breeze for a moment or two with them, and then venture out into your town for meals, or other professional opportunities.
It happens, as an art dealer, I came across a local merchant in your town after acquiring my daily ration of cigars, and in approximately two years of knowing her, have conducted well more than $100,000.00 of business with her, by sourcing art. That number, naturally, gets multiplied, given that $100K is wholesale, whereas retail sales she makes to your public with the same inventory is considerably more than that amount. This stimulates economic activity and brings people to San Anselmo, at times, from far away places, seeking to acquire highly-collectible art.
I visit her store almost every day after getting my cigars, and have even had my last art deal with her several days ago.
FYI: There is a major, world-class store for cigars in Mill Valley, named Telfords. The selection there is mind bending. An entire store devoted to cigars, whereas Ludwig’s has only a tiny room, (walk-in humidor). Forgive me for deluging you with so much information, but hoping it is helpful, I share with you that they smoke inside Telfords, (unlike Ludwig’s), and I cannot go there without smelling like an ashtray after I leave. If a moratorium against selling cigars were to be enacted in San Anselmo, I would not have the reason to make that daily jaunt to your town anymore. God forbid, Comforts could go out of business by not selling me a fruit and nut bar every day. :)
All kidding aside, my understanding is that a venerable institution as Ludwig’s, established I believe in 1937, would suffer from not being able to cater to their clientele for products they have spent decades 124
providing.
And, I share lastly, that perhaps a main consideration for not selling tobacco products in San Anselmo is because of use/misuse by underage individuals.
Ludwig’s strikes me as having a mature clientele; sophisticated oenophiles, and those willing to spend a pretty penny on a cigar, perhaps to compliment a cognac. Their cigars have price points of up to $50.00 each…..and at times more, and I believe the finest, rarest cognac they offer costs upwards of $4,000.00 a bottle. The point I wish to make is that this is not a hang out for teeny boppers. They do not sell candy bars, or potato chips, but as their name indicates….Fine Wine, Spirits, and Cigars. They do not sell vapes, or even packages nor cartons of cigarettes; they are truly a speciality store, and I, for one, would be saddened if I could not purchase my daily smoke from these delightful people in their elegant little setting.
I realize it has been burdensome to take in my long email, but I want you to know I value your time and consideration. If grandfathering Ludwig’s, by helping to support their clientele by allowing them to conduct “business as usual”, it would be greatly appreciated by this patron, and many visitors to your town.
Respectfully yours,

Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
I am writing to respectfully oppose the proposed blanket tobacco ban as it applies to Ludwig's Fine Wines.
Ludwig's is a local small business that has proudly served the San Anselmo community for 50 years.
I fully support the goal of keeping nicotine out of the hands of minors.
However, a one-size-fits-all ban would have serious unintended consequences for legacy retailers like Ludwig's, and for many others in town that are owned and operated by multi-generational immigrant families.
The only tobacco products Ludwig's carries are traditional, handmade premium cigars. Minors are not buying $15-30 cigars, and a strict under-21 law is already in place. A total municipal ban would not curb youth substance use. It would push sales to unregulated and illegal markets while penalizing responsible local businesses.
I urge the Council to adopt a reasonable carve-out for premium cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments, consistent with the legal definitions already used across California.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan Lund

Dear Members of the San Anselmo Town Council,
I was raised in San Anselmo and still live near downtown. Most weekends I take an afternoon walk through town and stop at Ludwig's Fine Wine to pick up a bottle of wine and a cigar. It's a small ritual I enjoy, and one of the things that makes our downtown feel like home.
I fully support the Council's goal of keeping cigarettes, vapes, and other products aimed at enticing young people out of minors' hands. However, I respectfully ask that the ordinance include a carve-out for premium cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments. Premium cigars are a very different product: they are geared toward older, responsible adults (30+), are enjoyed occasionally, and are not the kind of detrimental addiction this ordinance is meant to address.
A targeted approach would protect youth while preserving a 50-year local business that has been a good neighbor to this community.

Hello,
As a community member of San Anselmo I’m writing to state my opposition to any ban on premium cigar sales within San Anselmo. As a fellow merchant, I believe doing so would have little to no impact on public safety while likely having a significantly financially negative impact on a long-time and valuable town business - Ludwig’s. While I don’t believe cigars are currently a problem in San Anselmo, if town counsel is trying to protect public safety on behalf or our community then you should put a measure on the ballot to outlaw ALL forms of smoking/vaping in public spaces enforceable by a hefty fine and if the community agrees by passing it, vigorously enforce it. Banning the sales of cigars is simply a political showmanship which would have negligible beneficial impact on the community. There are so many other things within the community that should be addressed before something as ludicrous as this is even considered.
Best,
Eric Mayer

I have been coming to Ludwigs for years to buy gifts of wine for functions, etc. and to support downtown businesses. You and your family have always been pleasant, helpful and kind. We need more like you. I will write a letter in support. I am not a smoker and do not support smoking but if someone wants to buy a premium cigar for $30, and we are supposed to ban that, there are so many other things that need to be banned first, like marijuana - - which is really hurting children. Kids always seem to be able to get marijuana. I have seen underage kids smoking marijuana, I have never seen them smoking a cigar. 137

Dear Town Council & Mr. Savila:
I am writing to support the continued sales of tobacco products at the iconic Ludwig Fine Wines.
Their products are not sold to youth, not a threat to the need to show administrative restraints with tobacco use risk behavior in youth. Please use common sense regarding this new measure desired to impact positively towards caring for youth while preserving the local charm and diverse offerings of local business.
Thank you for your consideration and leadership.

Dear Council Members,
I appreciate your care and concern as you consider a tobacco ban in San Anselmo. I agree that we need to do all that we can to prevent youth access to harmful substances. A total ban, however seems to solve the problem too broadly. A total ban means that a beloved town business, Ludwig’s will suffer likely unnecessary harm without an appreciable gain in the effort to keep tobacco out of the hands of youths.
Cigars are not a known tobacco product generally favored by young people, so the risk is low. Ludwig’s is an excellent example of a responsible business and goes to great lengths to make sure their products, all of them, don’t find themselves in the hands of underage people. I’d ask that you consider an exception for cigar sales, and allow our local business to operate as they have always done.
Thank you,
~Heidi

Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
I would respectfully like to express my support for a premium cigar carve-out for legacy small businesses. If the proposed “Total Tobacco Sales Ban” is mainly aimed at discouraging minors’ use of tobacco products, I feel that the inclusion of cigars in this ban is not warranted. There are no significant numbers of minors smoking cigars, if at all, so a ban on sales is a moot point.
Furthermore, I feel that a total sales ban on tobacco products in San Anselmo (or anywhere) is an overreach. I am not a smoker of any kind, however, refraining someone from buying tobacco products is excessive coddling. Where do we draw the line? What is next on the prohibition list? Adults should be able to make their own choices, and minors are protected by the current tobacco sales laws – perhaps the focus should be on enforcing the latter, rather than banning tobacco sales outright.
I appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Anita Mitchell

May 21, 2026
Marin County Board of Supervisors
Room 329 Civic Center
3501 Civic Center Drive
San Rafael, CA 94903
Dear Honorable Supervisors,
The Health Council of Marin would like to applaud you for unanimously passing your recent tobacco retail ordinance, adding Chapter 5.76 to the Marin County Code.
This far-sighted ordinance will discourage tobacco and nicotine use while enhancing the health of Marin County residents. We commend your prohibiting the sale of electronic smoking devices and heated smoking systems in unincorporated Marin County, establishing minimum prices for packs of cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, nicotine pouches, and tobacco pouches (snus), while banning coupons and eliminating discounts. In particular, congratulations on likely being the first jurisdiction in the U.S. to take the proactive step of explicitly prohibiting the introduction of heated smoking systems, also known as heated tobacco products, such as IQOS, thus preempting the big tobacco and nicotine companies from ever introducing these harmful tobacco products into our communities.
We are writing to urge you to take the final step—to pass a comprehensive ordinance, as soon as possible, ending the sale of all commercial tobacco and nicotine products, including cigarettes, all cigars, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, nicotine pouches, and snus pouches (except for FDA-approved cessation aids). Such an ordinance would not only end the sale of these products, but also, at the same time, prohibit the tobacco and nicotine industry from ever introducing any of their newest products in the future. This measure would obviate the need to pass a future ordinance regulating the sale of tobacco and nicotine products.
The Health Council recently had the good fortune to hear presentations by Dr.
Jeremiah Mock from the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control, Research and Education; Allegra Andreoli, a Tamalpais High School student; and Anita Renzetti, Health and Human Services Senior Program Coordinator for Tobacco Education. Their presentations made even clearer to us the dangers of children, teens, and adults using any tobacco and nicotine products, particularly cigarettes, cigars, and nicotine pouches.
As you know, smoking cigarettes and cigars causes serious, long-acknowledged and undisputed harms, many of which often lead to preventable diseases (e.g., lung cancer, 142
2 heart disease, and hypertension), permanent disability (e.g., stroke, COPD, diabetes, and hearing loss), and untimely death.
Respected studies tell the story. Indeed, a 2014 Surgeon General’s report found that tobacco use is responsible for 87% of lung cancer deaths, 32% of coronary heart disease deaths, and 78% of all cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the country.1 Closer to home, studies by the American Lung Association indicate that commercial tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in California.2 The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids states that approximately 40,000 California adults die from smoking annually (not including those who die from secondhand smoke exposure), and 22% of all adult cancer deaths in the state are attributable to smoking.3 Moreover, tobacco use contributes to health disparities and barriers to health equity throughout California. According to the National Cancer Institute, African Americans or Black Americans, American Indians, people with lower levels of education, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people, folks living in rural areas, and people reporting high levels of psychological distress are much more likely to use tobacco and experience the resulting preventable poor health outcomes.4 This trend extends to Marin County. We also have serious disparities in cigarette smoking that are of great concern to the Health Council. In Marin’s predominantly affluent white communities, the adult current (past-30-day) cigarette smoking prevalence rates are 6-7%, but in San Rafael’s predominantly low-income Latino Canal District the smoking rate is 18%. In predominantly low-income unincorporated Marin City, the African American and Latino smoking rate is 14%. And in Novato’s predominantly low-income Southern District, Latino and African American the smoking rate is 14% (see Figure 1 courtesy of Dr. Mock).5 For decades, these same groups have been disproportionately targeted by predatory tobacco distributors and retailers. 1 U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, The Health consequences of Smoking — 50 years of progress, a report of the Surgeon general (2014) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK179276/pdf/Bookshelf_NBK179276.pdf. 2 American Lung Association, State of Tobacco Control 2025 (2025) https://www.lung.org/research/sotc/stategrades/highlights/california 3 Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, The Toll of Tobacco in California (2025) https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/problem/toll-us/California 4 National Cancer Institute, A Socioecological approach to addressing tobacco-related health disparities (2017) https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/sites/default/files/2020-08/m22_complete.pdf 5 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Places Database, based on Behavioral Risk Factor Surveys for 2022 and 2023 and U.S. Census estimates for 2023,

3 Over the past few years, Marin County has rapidly become saturated with the tobacco and nicotine industry’s latest novel products for ingesting nicotine and promoting addiction, namely nicotine pouches and snus pouches. These highly addictive new products present new dangers, namely the development of irreversible gum recession, chronic oral lesions, and likely contribute to gastrointestinal diseases.6 Importantly, Ms. Andreoli’s speech pointed out the alarming rise in teenage use of tobacco and nicotine products in Marin—vaping, nicotine pouches, AND cigarette smoking. She told us,
“Now, nicotine pouches are becoming a bigger problem than vapes. They're odorless. They're invisible. They don't set off any alarms, literal or figurative. A student can sit in the middle of a classroom, in plain sight of a teacher, and use a nicotine pouch without anyone knowing. Vapes at least produce a cloud. Pouches produce nothing — except addiction and disease and trash.
And now I am going to tell you something really shocking: cigarette smoking is back in Marin. At parties on weekends, I see more and more of my classmates smoking cigarettes. Inside, cigarette smoke fills the room and I come home with the stench on my clothes — just from being nearby smokers. Outside, cigarette butts litter the ground, many left still smoldering. This is nostalgia of the 1970s.
This is a revival. And it is happening in Marin, right now, among teenagers.” 6 Ye D, Rahman I. Emerging Oral Nicotine Products and Periodontal Diseases. Int J Dent. 2023 Feb 10;2023:9437475. doi: 10.1155/2023/9437475, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/2023/9437475 144
4 The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids reports that each year 38,700 young people in California try smoking by the age of 18 for the first time.7 In Marin County, the trends in current cigarette smoking among high school students are alarming (Figure 2). While the prevalence of smoking among 11th graders has decreased statewide and in San Mateo County (comparator county) to 1%, in Marin County the rate has risen dramatically to 8%. Among 11th graders in the Tamalpais Union High School District, smoking prevalence has risen to 12%, and among white students to 15%. In California, we have not seen current smoking prevalence among 11th graders at 12% for 30 years, since 1996.
8 Studies show that children, teens, and young adults who start using tobacco and nicotine products are the most vulnerable to harm and developing severe life-long addiction.9 So, we feel it is necessary for the County to undertake the strongest possible 7 Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, The Toll of Tobacco in California (2025), https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/problem/ toll-us/California 8 Pierce JP, White MM, Gilpin EA.

5 measures to protect them from ALL toxic tobacco and nicotine products and the predatory advertisers who push them.
Several rigorous studies have shown that the presence of tobacco retailers near adolescents’ homes is associated with increased youth smoking rates and initiation of the newer, smokeless tobacco products.10,11 Other studies indicate that the absence of ads and available products helps dissuade those who have quit from resuming the habit.12,13
The dangers of these products don’t end with the harm they do directly to humans. Nicotine is an EPA-regulated acute hazardous chemical, and cigarette butts— which are plastic and break down into microplastics—leach out nicotine and metals, arsenic, lead, and cadmium.14 The environment suffers as well from wildfires and structural fires caused by smoldering cigarette butts, the smoke these fires spew, and the pollution that these products produce when discarded throughout our towns, cities, buildings, beaches, and homes.15
Ending the sale of all commercial tobacco and nicotine products (except FDAapproved cessation aids) as soon as possible in unincorporated Marin and in all jurisdictions in Marin would create an inconvenience that would make these harmful and toxic products much less accessible and appealing, thus denormalizing use. Ending sales would also incentivize smokers and nicotine users to quit. Importantly, ending sales would also eliminate retailers’ point-of-sale advertisements that target children, tempt teens to become new users, impede quitting, and trigger relapse for ex-smokers.
While the Health Council recognizes the arguments opposing a complete end to sales, we still feel that this is a worthy path. The use of the products would not be banned or criminalized; only the sale of the products would be banned. And while some claim that jurisdictions could lose sales tax revenue, Marin County would benefit by the increased productivity of healthier people and by decreased medical costs.

6 annual health care expenses, $3.85 billion in Medi-Cal costs caused by smoking, and $28.1 billion in smoking-caused productivity losses.16 Marin County certainly absorbs these costs as well. Any trade-off seems more than fair when considering the intrinsic value of good health.
Moreover, claims of retailers’ lost revenue are countered by evidence that shows they would likely shift their business practices to supplement their income, meaning that an end-of-sales policy would, over the longer term, likely be revenue-neutral. This is supported by a recent study of the complete end-of-sales ban in Beverly Hills (which had 29 tobacco retailers) and Manhattan Beach (18 retailers), which showed high compliance and no business failures for stores other than “smoke shops.”17 Another study showed that the complete end of sales polices in these cities did not result in increased tobacco sales in surrounding communities.
18 Since tobacco and nicotine products are inherently dangerous, debilitating, and deadly, in our eyes, the approach of merely regulating their continued sales is insufficient. Therefore, the Health Council strongly urges you to go one step further. We urge you to follow the examples of Beverly Hills, Manhattan Beach, and our own Tiburon and Ross by passing an ordinance as soon as possible to end the sale of all commercial tobacco and nicotine products (except for FDA-approved cessation aids).
Let’s commit ourselves to further advancing Marin’s status as the healthiest county in California and support the California Department of Public Health’s goal of ending the tobacco epidemic in every community throughout the state by 2035.
Thank you for considering our appeal.
Sincerely,
Health Council of Marin

I am a resident of San Anselmo and am voicing my opposition to a total ban on tobacco products in the Town of San Anselmo. If the goal is to reduce teenage use of tobacco products then a more tailored approach is necessary. A ban on premium cigars is a total overreach and hurts legacy businesses. A ban on cigarettes will also hurt local businesses and we as residents will suffer from increased prices across the board to accomodate for the lost tobacco revenue. There is a strong connection to teen tobacco use and vaping, so I would support a ban on vaping products with special flavors targeting teens.

Hello,
I grew up in San Anselmo and I've called it home most of my life. Ludwig's has always been one of the staples of my childhood. Of course, I never shopped there as a child, but much like Ted's, Bubba's Diner, etc - it was always one of those establishments you hope last forever.
When I was a kid, I used to save up my allowance and ride my bike down to "Dreams" on San Anselmo Ave and buy baseball cards and comic books. Now, as a 38 year old adult, Ludwig's is the adult version of Dreams. I stop in every couple weeks to get a cigar and their best new recommendation for mezcal or bourbon. It's something I greatly look forward to. It's these types of small businesses that are essential to preserve.
As someone that was a teenager once - a local tobacco ban is not going to prevent teenagers from using nicotine. Seventeen year olds will happily drive to a nearby town to buy cigarettes. It doesn't make any sense. Also, I can tell you from experience of being a teenager that Ludwig's is very strict on checking identification. Going even further - although it seems these nicotine pouches are popular with young people, I would highly doubt that teens in 2026 are into smoking cigars.
All this government pressure and unnecessary ordinances are illogical and they allow the local businesses to suffer. Ludwigs has been serving the community for decades. Do not ban tobacco and allow this business revenue to plummet.
Thank you for listening!

Ludwig’s and the proposed tobacco ban

I oppose the blanket tobacco ban in San Anselmo as it relates to Ludwig’s Fine Wines.
Ludwig’s Fine Wine is a local small business that has proudly served our San Anselmo community for the past 50 years. While I completely agree with and applaud the goal of keeping nicotine out of the hands of minors, a blunt, one-size-fits-all ban will create devastating, unintended casualties for legacy local retailers like Ludwig’s and others, many who are owned and operated by multi-generational immigrant families.
The only tobacco products Ludwigs carry are traditional, handmade premium cigars.
It is a proven fact that minors are not buying $15 to $30 premium cigars. There is already a strict under-21 law in place, and a total municipal ban will not stop youth substance use—it simply feeds an unregulated illegal market while punishing local businesses.
I am asking the Town Council to allow a reasonable carve-out for Premium Cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments, mirroring standard legal definitions used across California.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Burdo, Vice Mayor Walker and Members of the Town Council,
My name is Barbara Nazari and I am representing Ludwig’s. As you all know we are about to celebrate our 50th year in business under the Nazari family. The business was founded in 1937 as a smoke shop, and has evolved over the last half-century to focus on fine wine, spirts, craft beer and Premium Cigars. We do not sell cigarettes, vapes or nicotine pouches. We made a conscious decision over 15 years ago to discontinue the sale of these products. We have built an excellent reputation based on a strict sense of public responsibility and 100% regulatory compliance.
We are already doing our part by ensuring age-restricted products never fall into the hands of minors, and feel that a Total Tobacco Ban could be the final economic blow to our business.
While we recognize the pressure that you are under from the well-meaning lobby, we truly believe that San Anselmo can fully protect youth and preserve its small businesses by simply adopting the Marin County Model Ordinance framework—
enforcing the strict $12.00 price floor and its biennial $1.00 inflation escalator—or by explicitly carving out an exemption for traditional premium cigars.
Accompanying this letter, please find a formal petition containing over 200 signatures from local San Anselmo residents,
constituents, and business patrons who stand firmly in support of Ludwig’s and other small businesses and request a strict product exemption for premium cigars from any proposed retail ban. This overwhelming turnout from your own constituents demonstrates a clear local mandate: our community rejects blanket bans on legal, artisanal adult products and objects to policies that unnecessarily threaten a 50-year-old legacy business
155
The data presented by advocacy groups routinely conflates all tobacco products into a single category. By failing to separate hand-rolled, natural leaf premium cigars from mass-market, machine-made convenience store items, the research paints a fundamentally misleading picture.
Premium cigars carry a high retail baseline price and contain zero youth-appealing flavor chemicals, filters, or plastic tips. They are stored securely in climate-controlled humidors within an Adultcentric business. Minors are simply not purchasing premium, artisanal cigars, rendering a total ban on this specific category entirely useless as a public health tool. Furthermore,
independent compliance reports indicate that minors
overwhelmingly circumvent local retail checkpoints by accessing tobacco products online via unverified e-commerce channels.
Restricting a highly compliant, face-to-face legacy local merchant does absolutely nothing to disrupt online youth acquisition, and total bans risk fortifying this already profitable illegal market.
Furthermore, the public health literature presented to the Council utilizes macroeconomic data to argue that tobacco bans have a negligible impact on overall municipal tax bases. This data gap paints an incomplete picture. It naturally glosses over the microeconomic strains felt uniquely by independent, singlelocation legacy businesses operating on narrow brick-and-mortar margins.
We are not asking the town to ignore public health goals. We are asking the Council to reject a rigid, pre-packaged corporate template in favor of a balanced, localized approach.
156
We urge you to look past the curated external data, listen to the voices of the 200-plus local residents who signed our petition, and protect a half-century of San Anselmo business history.
Thank you for your leadership and consideration.
As a council, your responsibility is to enact evidence-based policy tailored to the transparent realities of San Anselmo. While we recognize and respect the intentions of local public health advocates, the regional data presented by the prevention network to justify a total product ban contains critical methodological flaws and data gaps that must be scrutinized before making a decision of this magnitude.
Thank you for your time and dedication to serving our
community.
Sincerely,
Barbara Nazari

I support a premium carve-out exemption for a legacy small business.
Everyone is in favor of the general idea here to limit tobacco sales to minors.
A blanket ban on anything never seems to fit everything.
This shouldn’t be a hard fix, especially after the San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce has recognized Barbara Hunt Nazari as Business Citizen of the Year.

Dear town council,
We moved to San Anselmo over 20 years ago.
Neither of us smoke, yet Ludwig’s is one of our favorite stores in town. It’s one of a few businesses in town that keep San Anselmo’s character what it is.
I urge you not to pass a blanket no-tobacco sales ban. As it is, tobacco can’t be sold to minors anyway.
Please let adults decide what they want to do with their own bodies.
It would be a shame and detriment to the town if Ludwig’s went out of business.
Thank you,
Andy

To whom it may concern, and the entire Town of San Anselmo, I have been a resident of San Anselmo, as well as a business owner with a business in the town, for over 36 years. I have shared the pride I have of my town with my friends, colleagues, and family for my entire residency, highlighting the elements of the town that make it such a special place to live, raise a family, and operate a business.
What makes our town so uniquely special is the people and the shop owners that make up the tapestry and history that our tow. Is known for.
One unique store that fits The Avenue is Ledwig's, which pre-dates my arrival in 1990. I am not much of a drinker, and I'm not a smoker, but I stop in Ludwig's on holidays of special occasions to find that one special gifts that I know will be appreciated. And I stop in their shop knowing it's owned by people that care about the quality of the merchandise that they curate.
I have two kids, and I have regular discussions with them about the dangers and addictive qualities of tobacco, and while I would support the town's decision to limit tobacco sales in town, allowing Ludwig's to have a special, specific carve out for their cigar humidor, knowing that this would pose no threat to children nor contribute towards the addictive traits of cigarettes and vapes. Further, the town should support a quality and unique shop like Ludwig's, and one that has been a good neighbor of the town, to maintain the vibrancy that the town and its residents count on.

RE: Complete End of Sales of All Tobacco and Nicotine Products in San Anselmo Dear Mayor Burdo, Vice Mayor Walker, Councilmembers Kullaway, Burke and Schlesinger:
On behalf of the Prevention Policy Group, a program of the Public Health Institute, a 501c3 nonprofit that has worked to protect health and health equity, including reducing the harms of tobacco use in California communities for over 60 years, we write to reiterate our strong support for your town’s consideration of a measure to end the sale of ALL commercial tobacco and nicotine products (except FDA-approved cessation aids).
This policy, if adopted, is one you will be proud to call your own for the rest of your lives, always knowing you have saved lives and added a ripple to what will become the tidal wave of ending commercial tobacco as we know it.
We salute your willingness to explore this groundbreaking new policy and urge you to join the pioneering Cities of Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach, and Marin’s own Towns of Tiburon and Ross in passing an ordinance to eliminate commercial tobacco. Specifically we encourage adoption of one that has NO EXEMPTIONS for any types of tobacco products, including cigars. Regardless of the type of product, they all cause cancer, heart disease, secondhand smoke exposure, addiction, environmental damage and combustible products can spark fires.
Per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: “Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes and cigar smoke is at least as toxic as cigarette smoke, if not more. Large cigars can deliver as much as 10 times the nicotine, two times the tar, and more than five times the carbon monoxide of a filtered cigarette.”
None of the major public health organizations and agencies considers cigars or any other tobacco product to be of less public health concern. These organizations and 223
2000 Center Street, Suite 308, Berkeley, CA 94704. www.phi.org agencies universally recognize that there is no safe level of tobacco and nicotine use in any form. Smoking cigars causes disease (particularly oral and esophageal cancer), disability (particularly lung cancer and jaw malfunction), and premature death.
We also urge the Town of San Anselmo to consider an ordinance that has NO EXEMPTIONS for any types of tobacco retailers. Tobacco retailing normalizes tobacco use because it puts products in plain sight of children, teens, and young adults. To eliminate tobacco-caused disease, disability, and death, we must end all tobacco retailing.
We applaud you, along with other Marin jurisdictions, for considering this next bold step to advance Marin and California’s goals of ending the tobacco and nicotine use epidemic entirely, ending the tobacco and nicotine industry’s influence in every community, and ending the environmental impacts of all tobacco and nicotine products.
Adopting an end to the sale of all commercial tobacco and nicotine products will protect current and future generations of youth and young adults, assist current tobacco users in quitting, and protect our environment.

Why public health outcomes matter: Rethinking San Anselmo’s proposed ban From Julia Randall <[email protected]>
Date Wed 9/30/2026 10:34 PM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
Some people who received this message don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important CAUTION: External Sender
Dear Members of the Town Council,
My name is Julia Randall, a resident of San Anselmo. I share the Council’s serious concern regarding youth nicotine initiation.
However, effective public health policy must be evaluated by net health outcomes, not just good intentions. A blanket retail ban on electronic nicotine devices risks creating unintended health consequences for our community.
The core principle of modern public health is harm reduction—meeting people where they are to reduce the most lethal behaviors first. The United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) has formally integrated regulated e-cigarettes into its smoking cessation strategies because the scientific consensus is clear: while vaping is not risk-free, the absence of tobacco combustion makes it substantially less harmful than cigarettes. Studies in the New England Journal of Medicine have demonstrated that ecigarettes are among the most effective tools for adult smoking cessation.
When local governments enact complete bans on smokeless nicotine, research shows a troubling substitution effect:
• A 2024 study in JAMA Health Forum found that e-cigarette restrictions were correlated with decreased youth vaping, but a simultaneous increase in combustible cigarette smoking among young adults. • Studies in Health Economics evaluating earlier municipal and state bans recorded similar surges in traditional cigarette sales.
If a policy causes adults or young adults to shift from non-combustible devices back to combustible tobacco, the overall health of the community declines.
I urge the Council to align San Anselmo with a comprehensive harm-reduction model: enforce strict age limits, expand youth education, and address combustible tobacco directly, rather than removing lower-risk cessation pathways for adults.
Sincerely,
Julia

I’m sending an email regarding the upcoming meeting to implement a total tobacco ban in the town of San Anselmo. I agree there are issues with businesses selling cigarettes and Vapes to underage children. I know personally Ludwig’s only sells cigars and you have to be 21 years of age to purchase them. They have a reputable business and have been a huge part of our community and town for many years.
I’m asking that you would consider carving a cigar-out for legacy small businesses. Our town needs to keep businesses like Ludwig’s that have been a fixture for generations. That aspect of their business is sought out in Marin county for their reputation, products and service. San Anselmo needs to keep their legacy businesses.

The Smoke-free Marin Coalition
Ending the harms of tobacco and nicotine since 1990
September 3, 2026
Mayor Steve Burdo
San Anselmo Town Council
525 San Anselmo Avenue
San Anselmo, CA 94960
RE: Urging your consideration of an ordinance ending the sale of ALL tobacco and nicotine products, without exemptions
Dear Mayor Burdo, Vice Mayor Walker, Councilmembers, and Staff:
It’s time to end the tobacco and nicotine epidemic once and for all and make San Anselmo one of the healthiest communities in the U.S.
We are writing on behalf of the Smoke-free Marin Coalition, a group of community members, parents, teens, educators, healthcare providers, public health professionals, and environmentalists. We encourage you to take the next logical public health step toward ending the tobacco and nicotine epidemic by passing an ordinance to completely end the retail sale of ALL tobacco and nicotine products, including but not limited to premium cigars, cigarettes, cigarillos, little cigars, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, oral nicotine pouches, and oral tobacco pouches, e-cigarettes, and heated smoking systems (heated tobacco products), without exemptions for types of retailers or types of product (except FDA-approved cessation aids), without a hardship exception, and without allowing delivery.
On September 1, 2026, the majority of the Corte Madera Town Council voted “yes” on a first reading of a complete end-of-sales ordinance, without exemptions for “premium” cigars, despite receiving a request from a local cigar retailer.
Teens in San Anselmo and neighboring communities are already accustomed to smoking cigars, in some cases with their parents. Recently, one of our members observed groups of graduating seniors at Redwood High School and Tamalpais High School puffing away on big so-called premium cigars, in some cases in front of their parents. This shows that smoking big cigars is still normalized among teens and adults in 236
2 Central Marin. Statewide, between 2022 and 2024, any cigar smoking doubled among 8th graders from 0.7% to 1.2%.1 The American Cancer Society states clearly that one large cigar can have as much tobacco as a pack of cigarettes, and “The nicotine, carcinogens, and other toxins are absorbed through the lining of the mouth, so smoking [large cigars] can cause many of the same health problems as smoking cigarettes. No matter the size, cigars are tobacco. The smoke from them has the same cancer-causing chemicals and other toxins found in cigarette smoke. All cigars are dangerous to your health.”2 The American Lung Association states that “Regular cigar smoking can increase the risk of cancers in the throat and mouth, including esophagus, larynx (voice box), pharynx (throat) and the oral cavity (lip, tongue, mouth) ... 9,000 premature deaths per year are attributed to cigar smoking.”3
In December 2025, the European Society of Cardiology issued a major consensus statement, “Vapes, pouches, heated tobacco, shisha, cigarettes: nicotine in all forms is toxic to the heart and blood vessels.”4,5 Your decision to end the sale of all nicotine-containing products (except FDA-approved cessation aids) is supported by independent non-industry-sponsored research and will protect the public from addiction and disease.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has clearly stated there is no safe tobacco product, period. The proposed ordinance will allow pharmacies to sell ***FDAapproved*** cessation aids (e.g., nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges). You have wisely already passed an ordinance ending the sale of the tobacco and nicotine industry’s newer, highly addictive, and harmful products (i.e., e-cigarettes, oral nicotine pouches, tobacco pouches, and heated smoking systems aka heated tobacco products). It is important to note that the FDA Center for Tobacco Products has only ***authorized marketing*** of these products, but the FDA has not ***approved*** them for cessation support because these newer products are not scientifically proven to be safe and effective for supporting cessation. Scientific evidence has shown that the industry’s newer products are harmful to health because they deliver large doses of nicotine. 6,7
Many of these newer products also contain other toxic chemicals that the FDA classifies as harmful to health.
8,9 These products are also harmful to the environment because they leach out nicotine, which the U.S. EPA classifies as an acute hazardous waste. 10,11 Ending the sale of all tobacco and nicotine products is entirely consistent with the California Department of Public Health / California Tobacco Prevention Program’s endgame goal.
Your decision to end the sale of ALL tobacco and nicotine products, including premium cigars, will build on the ordinances passed by the City of Beverly Hills in 2019, Manhattan Beach, Town of Tiburon, and the Town of Ross in 2025. 237
3 A recent study shows that after Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach passed their ordinances ending the sale of tobacco products, 1) retailers complied, 2) there was no significant increase in tobacco purchases in neighboring communities, and 3) non-tobacco purchases did not decrease significantly. The authors conclude, “Stability of non-tobacco product sales for included stores suggests end-of-sales policies did not substantially adversely affect local retailers. These results suggest the viability of tobacco sales bans as an effective tobacco control strategy.”12
For over 35 years, the Smoke-free Marin Coalition has been working to end the epidemic of tobacco use and nicotine addiction and end the influence of the tobacco and nicotine industry in all communities throughout Marin. Through the efforts of our coalition members and our County Health Department, with wide support from many others, communities in Marin County have long been recognized in California and nationwide as leaders in tobacco control and prevention of nicotine addiction.
After the San Anselmo Town Council led in 2019 by passing an ordinance 5-0 ending the sale of all flavored tobacco and nicotine products, on the statewide Proposition 31 flavor ban in 2022, 85% of San Anselmo voters voted in favor of the flavor ban – 2nd highest in Marin and a greater percentage than nearly any other community in California (statewide vote 63%).
Now is the time for you to take another major step to chart the way forward and advance Marin’s leadership.
Based on available data and local high school students’ testimonies, in jurisdictions throughout Marin County, teen use patterns are changing rapidly. Our teens are becoming more addicted to nicotine than ever. In the Tamalpais High School District, the prevalence rate of current (past-30-day) cigarette smoking among 11th graders has risen to 12%, back to the same level it was a decade ago, and 12 times higher than in San Mateo County (comparison county prevalence rate of 1%). 13 In 2024, large
percentages of Tam District students reported that it was fairly easy or very easy to obtain cigarettes (46% of 9th graders, 47% of 10th, 60% of 11th and 73% of 12th).14 Local retail tobacco and nicotine advertising and product sales have been changing rapidly and because while the tobacco and nicotine industry continues to aggressively market their established products at discounted prices, including cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and little cigars.
Oral nicotine pouch sales have been surging rapidly, 15 and local teens tell us this year they have seen a surge in nicotine pouch use. Nationwide, children are being poisoned from swallowing nicotine pouches at an alarmingly increasing rate, with calls to poison control centers surging by 763% between 2020 to 2023. 16,17
238
4 While the tobacco and nicotine industry promotes their new products as being less harmful, a recent extensive analysis of 124 published studies comparing real-world ecigarette use to cigarette use show that e-cigarettes are nearly as harmful as cigarettes.
18,19 Relatively little is known about heated tobacco products, but recent studies have shown that heated tobacco products cause users and bystanders to inhale a wide range of harmful chemicals that cause lung damage, trigger emphysema, and harm reproductive systems.20,21,22,23 Very little is known about the harms of nicotine pouches and tobacco snus pouches, but nicotine pouch products can be a gateway to youth nicotine addiction, and they appear to cause oral ulcers and gum damage.24,25,26 All of the tobacco and nicotine industry’s products are highly addictive, dangerous, disabling, and deadly because nicotine is a neurotoxin that hijacks the dopamine pleasure and reward system – particularly among teens and young adults. 27 Nicotine is
toxic to the heart and blood vessels and triggers heart attacks,28 and accelerates the growth of cancerous tumors.29 Nicotine is absorbed by children and pregnant women who are exposed to secondhand smoke and secondhand aerosol. 30 Nicotine easily crosses
the placental barrier and is highly concentrated in fetal blood. 31 Nicotine exposure causes
fetal disorders and causes changes in developing lungs that may lead to asthma in childhood.
32,33 Nicotine is present in breastmilk, leading to postnatal exposure.34 A complete end-to-sales ordinance will benefit the community of San Anselmo in seven important ways:
1) Eliminate storefront and behind-the-counter advertising and product placement at children and teen’s eye level that directly targeting children and teens 2) End the perceived normalcy of selling highly addictive and deadly products, particulary cigarettes, cigars, and nicotine pouches.
3) End convenient accessibility to attractive tobacco and nicotine products, which facilitates youth and young adult initiation
4) Support youth and adults who are trying to quit and not relapse, since 70% of smokers say they want to quit, and convenient retail access is a major impediment to quitting 5) End the “whack-a-mole” cycle of endlessly having to update ordinances as the industry continues to launch new products like dissolvable strips and sublingual nicotine tablets 6) Reduce pollution and water contamination caused by discarded toxic cigarette and cigar butts and chewing tobacco, and
7) Reduce the risk of wildfire and structural fire ignition from cigarette butts and cigar butts.
239
5 The Smoke-free Marin Coalition stands ready to provide the elected officials and staff in San Anselmo with technical support in gathering data and information to prepare a draft ordinance and a staff report. We assure you that our Coalition members will work tirelessly to mobilize community support for a strong ordinance that advances our goals to end the epidemic of tobacco use and nicotine addiction and end the influence of the tobacco and nicotine industry in all communities throughout Marin.

Bob Curry, Co-Chair

CAUTION: External Sender
To The San Anselmo Town Council:
I oppose the blanket tobacco ban in San Anselmo as it relates to Ludwig’s Fine Wines.
Ludwig’s Fine Wine is a local small business that has proudly served our San Anselmo community for the past 50 years. While I completely agree with and applaud the goal of keeping nicotine out of the hands of minors, a blunt, one-size-fits-all ban will create devastating, unintended casualties for legacy local retailers like Ludwig’s and others, many who are owned and operated by multi-generational immigrant families.
The only tobacco products Ludwigs carry are traditional, handmade premium cigars.
It is a proven fact that minors are not buying $15 to $30 premium cigars. There is already a strict under21 law in place, and a total municipal ban will not stop youth substance use—it simply feeds an unregulated illegal market while punishing local businesses.
I am asking the Town Council to allow a reasonable carve-out for Premium Cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments, mirroring standard legal definitions used across California.
Sincerely,
Sandra Soklin

Dear Council members,
My name is Teresa Sousa and I am a homeowner at 26 Tamalpais Ave, Apt E in San Anselmo.
I am writing to record my position on the banning of tobacco sales, which I can support with the condition that all existing business are grandfathered in at today’s requirements.
I cannot believe that this council will do anything that will hurt our current business owners. The town should have the ability to grant variances based on reasonable criteria.
I am sure that you understand I am writing to support our local gem, Ludwig’s. Awesome people and wonderful for our town. To be honest, I go to Ludwig’s occasionally and never even knew they had cigars until recently.
Please look out for a business that has looked out for our community. It wouldn’t make sense any other way. If our good businesses need help, the town should be there to help. Just as the businesses should help the town. There are lots of creative ideas that could make sense and give retailers a reason to come to San Anselmo. They could know that the town and local businesses work closely together with much success. We depend on you to keep this downtown vibrant and solid.
If Ludwig’s ownership changes, a new variance/cut out/grandfather/new review could be required? I appreciate your consideration.
Teresa

Dear Mayor Burdo and Members of the San Anselmo Town Council, I’m writing as a San Anselmo resident to ask you to protect Ludwig’s Fine Wine as you consider changes to the Town’s tobacco retail regulations.
I support strong efforts to prevent youth nicotine use. But Ludwig’s is not selling cigarettes, vapes, ecigarettes, or nicotine pouches. Its tobacco sales are limited to traditional premium cigars sold to adults.
A total ban would treat those products and retailers as though they present the same issues, while potentially putting a 50-year local business at risk. That does not feel like a proportionate outcome.
Please consider a narrowly defined exemption for premium cigars sold by existing retailers, subject to strict 21+ requirements and any reasonable safeguards the Council believes are necessary.
San Anselmo should be able to protect young people while also protecting the independent businesses that give our downtown its character. These goals do not have to be in conflict.
Thank you for considering a more targeted approach.
Lauren

I do not like smoke of any kind; wildfire, fireplace, BBQ, cigarettes or cigars. I am so thankful for the no smoking policy in restaurants, places of business, airplanes and almost every other place in California! However, if someone wants to purchase a special cigar, Ludwig’s is, and has been for many years, the place to go. I have no idea where people smoke nowadays, which tells me smokers aren’t bothering anyone anymore! And, I can’t say I have ever seen a child or teen smoking a cigar; I think they are spending their allowance on far more dangerous substances.
I believe as a town, we should support Ludwig’s for several reasons:
Ludwig’s is one of the few survivors of our original hometown retailers.
Ludwig’s is made up of good people who are operating a successful small business in our little town. We need solid businesses with staying power.
Ludwig’s is an “anchor store” on our “one hundred percent corner”! Their customers activate the corner, especially in later hours. This helps make our streets safer.
Cigars are a specialty item, which brings unique buyers to San Anselmo, who might discover our very cool little town for the first time and be tempted to visit other shops or enjoy a meal.
The products, including Cigars,
Ludwig’s is selling now will be purchased somewhere else…if not there. By not supporting our small town retailers we Are supporting mega stores and on line shopping. Couldn’t we use the tax dollars? Thanks for listening and considering my thoughts.
Elaine Tope, a San Anselmo resident since 1974.

It is ridiculous to ban the sale of cigars at Ludwig’s. It accounts for a good portion of their business and banning will just put more burden on them and might put them out of business.
Ludwig’s has been around for years. It is a cornerstone of San Anselmo downtown.
I don’t even drink but I am fully in favor of keeping a business in town that serves many.
Kids aren’t going to be buying cigars. Much more attention should be paid to their social media use and not worry about them smoking cigars.
Give Ludwig’s a break. Enough businesses in San Anselmo have shut down already. Why contribute to more.

I have recently read about the possibility of banning ALL tobacco sales in SA. Please make an exception for Ludwigs. San Anselmo is lucky to have such a dedicated legacy business. It’s a treasure and this could cause them financial hardship, if not forcing them to close entirely.
The premise is sound - cigarette, vapes and other similar tobacco products SHOULD be banned, especially for the health of our kids. They are not the target market for the handmade, pricey cigars that Ludwigs sells.
PLEASE consider a carveout or exception for Ludwigs.

My wife and I have been customers of Ludwig’s for the past 40 years. We believe a ban on premium cigars at Ludwig’s will accomplish the opposite of its intended purpose. First, it will have zero impact on teen use of tobacco products (by law, teens cannot purchase cigars). Second, Ludwig’s long-term cigar customers will take their business elsewhere. Ludwig’s will lose any additional purchases these former customers would have made during their visits, compounding Ludwig’s revenue losses.
Promoting and supporting local business should be a top priority of city government. Please carefully consider the potential negative impact to an important local business a cigar ban will have.

Good Morning!
I just wanted to write in support of Ludwig's. As a born, raised and still living in San Anselmo resident I love having Ludwig's in town. It is such a central part of the town and has been most of my life. It definitely is my go to if I need to gift somebody a great bottle of wine and even to run across and get a soft drink or juice during story time. I understand the banning of cigarettes and E-cigs, vapes and the like, but I simply cannot get behind banning Ludwig's being able to sell premium cigars. It's such a niche market that is not going to affect any young person living in the community. Having Magid and Barbara have to close their doors because of loss in revenue would be beyond a tragedy for this town. The town is currently thriving and lively, and everything I love about it and them having to shut doors because of financial reasons would be a failure on the town in my book.

Dear Town Council,
Please reconsider the ban on premium cigars at Ludwig’s (but keeping the ban on all other nicotine).
While I’m personally not a fan of cigarette smoke, I’m disheartened to see all of the small local businesses in our areas close and only have big chains continue.
The big chains that continue are now often impacting our national politics in a way that goes against community & supporting the larger whole.
Ludwig’s is a business we get excited to shop at when we can and is a part of what makes San Anselmo the special place it is.
Thank you,

Dear town of San Anselmo,
If we are going to restrict commerce like tobacco, then why not restrict alcohol sales at Ludwigs and every restaurant in town? It kills more adolescents than tobacco. Sugar is also one of the biggest killers in society. Let ban that. Point is, the town council's recommendation is ludicrous. It is anti business and anti America and socialist. Stuff like this is why guys like Trump will remain in power which many here do not like.
This is so far left of center it is embarrassing and anti American capitalism. I will be speaking at the meeting on this with others.
If the goal is keeping tobacco away from minors, enforce age restrictions and punish retailers who sell to minors. Banning a legal product for adults and potentially destroying a 50-year-old local business is not a targeted solution—it’s collective punishment by non business government officials San Anselmo should be protecting responsible local businesses, not eliminating them because some people misuse a legal product.
Enforce the law. Don’t ban it.
I am not alone, the backlash over this is significant and with many calling for replacement of town council members
Hunter Ziesing, town resident
REPOST
I am writing to you today on behalf of Ludwig’s Fine Wine, a local small business that has proudly served our San Anselmo community for the past 50 years. We love being a part of this town, and we have always taken our public responsibility as merchants incredibly seriously. Today, we are facing an existential threat that could permanently close our doors, and we need your help.
At the upcoming October 13th Town Council meeting, the town will be considering a sweeping, Total Tobacco Sales Ban. While we completely agree with and applaud the goal of keeping nicotine out of the hands of minors, a blunt, one-size-fits-all ban will create devastating, unintended casualties for 261
legacy local retailers like us, many who are owned and operated by multi-generational immigrant families.
The Reality of Our Business:
Zero Vapes, Pouches, or Cigarettes: Years ago, we made the conscious decision to stop selling commercial cigarettes. We do not sell, and will never sell, vapes, e-cigarettes, or nicotine pouches.
Premium Cigars Only: The only tobacco products we carry are traditional, handmade premium cigars.
No Impact on Youth: It is a proven fact that minors are not buying $15 to $30 premium cigars. There is already a strict under-21 law in place, and a total municipal ban will not stop youth substance use—it simply feeds an unregulated illegal market while punishing local businesses.
A Final Blow: Adult premium cigar sales represent a critical pillar of our baseline revenue. Losing this revenue right now could be the final blow to our business, especially as we prepare to face the very real threat of devastating downtown flooding this winter season.
We Are Asking for a Common-Sense Compromise:
We understand that our local representatives are under immense pressure from organized, state-level advocacy networks pushing rigid templates. However, our town deserves a solution tailored to us. We are asking the Town Council to allow a reasonable carve-out for Premium Cigars sold in age-gated, 21+ environments, mirroring standard legal definitions used across California.
We have already collected almost 200 signatures from local citizens and neighbors who support a balanced approach, but we need to ensure our leaders hear our collective voice.
How You Can Support Us on Tuesday, October 13th:
Please take just two minutes to stand up for local, independent merchants and protect the character of our downtown commercial district and insist that your representatives focus on real, tangible efforts to curb teen nicotine use.
Submit a Public Comment via Email: Send a quick note to the council expressing your support for a premium cigar carve-out for legacy small businesses.
Emails: [email protected] and [email protected] Attend the Meeting: Join the San Anselmo Town Council Meeting on Tuesday, October 13th at 7:00 PM. You can attend in person at the Town Council Chambers (525 San Anselmo Avenue) or join remotely via Zoom (the link will be posted on the official San Anselmo Agendas and Meetings Portal).

Council Agenda 10/13/2026 Item 2.1 - Opposed to Taking Action re Smoking-Related Sales From kathy o'sullivan <[email protected]>
Date Fri 10/9/2026 1:06 PM
To Town Council <[email protected]>
CAUTION: External Sender
Of the options in the staff report, my vote would be Option 4: take no action re banning/further regulating smoking-related sales in San Anselmo.
I'm a non-smoking San Anselmo resident, homeowner, and parent. I shop (not for smoking-related products) at local businesses, including Ludwig's and Quick-N-Easy. I appreciate the good intentions and energy of those pressing for outright prohibition or the County model of increasing cost/burden.
But:
It's already illegal to sell to youth. And San Anselmo already regulates/licenses sales. If any San Anselmo business selling smoking-related products is suspected of being in violation, by all means have it investigated and take appropriate action, like revoking its license.
San Anselmo has a small number of businesses, and very few sell smoking-related products now.
Certainly some will be economically harmed by prohibiting, or increasing costs/burdens etc. of, sales. (Ludwig's and its customers have been vocal about this, and I expect other businesses would be harmed also.) I'm no fan of smoking, but we don't need to drive away existing businesses, or more empty storefronts. Nor do we need prices raised on non-smoking products by businesses trying to adapt and stay here.
I urge the Town Council to not make San Anselmo a test case.
From the staff report, I see some Marin communities opted not to join the trend, and have not adopted prohibitions/new regulations (San Rafael, Novato). I urge the San Anselmo Town Council to hold off also.
If in a few years there's traction for considering change, perhaps revisit -- and evaluate data (if available) on the effect in local communities that are about to try out prohibitions etc. (Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Fairfax). (Disregard Tiburon and Ross - they had no existing businesses to harm.)
Regardless of what happens elsewhere though, the potential impact on San Anselmo's existing businesses should be individually considered (and in doing so, I'd consider most relevant their history of youth-sales violations - if any).
If the Town wants to put energy into anti-smoking issues, how about some prominent "no smoking" signs in Creek Park, especially the redwoods' tables, and enforcing the existing outdoor smoking ban. That area gets frequent -- adult -- violators (and cigarette litter). 263
Thanks for your service to the Town.
Regards,
Kathy O'Sullivan

Dear Mayor Burdo and Members of the Town Council,
I am a San Anselmo resident writing about the nicotine sales ordinances staff were directed to draft. I share the Council's goal of reducing youth nicotine use. I respectfully ask that whichever ordinance moves forward include a narrow exemption for premium cigars sold by established, age-restricted small businesses.
I was glad to see Vice Mayor Walker raise the long-term impact on legacy businesses. Ludwig's is one of them. It is a 21+ establishment where premium cigars are a significant part of its business. It is also active in our community.
An exemption can fit the Council's goal for these reasons:
- Teens cannot enter. Ludwig's admits only adults 21 and over. - The youth concern is about other products. The June discussion centered on vapes and nicotine pouches. Premium cigars are a different product, sold in a different setting. - It can be drawn narrowly. Premium cigars can be defined by objective criteria. San Jose's ordinance exempts handmade cigars with whole-leaf wrappers, no filter or tip, and a minimum wholesale price. - A full ban falls hardest on legacy retailers.
I therefore ask that the Council:
Define "premium cigar" by objective criteria;
Limit the exemption to retailers that prohibit anyone under 21 on the premises.
Thank you for your service and for considering this request.
Respectfully,
Jenna Hermans
