Santa Rosa cracks down on tobacco
The Santa Rosa County Commission voted this morning on a resolution asking local tobacco retailers to voluntarily take candy-flavored tobacco products off of their shelves.
The county Health Department has asked for the resolution, saying that cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and other products with flavors like bubblegum and chocolate promote underage tobacco use.
Under the proposal, which was passed unanimously, the Health Department would reward participating stores with free advertising that promotes the outlets’ healthy decision.
