Using Tobacco Retailer Licensing to Provide Penalties for Violation of State Drug Paraphernalia Laws
Fact Sheet
TALC and the Center for Tobacco Policy and Organizing collaborated on a fact sheet describing how a tobacco retailer licensing ordinance can help reduce sales of drug paraphernalia related to Methamphetamine (meth) use. Meth addiction is one of California’s top drug problems, ruining lives, generating crime and violence, and worsening other public health crises like HIV infection. The fact sheet describes why a community might want to insert a provision into a local tobacco retailer licensing ordinance to make violations of state laws regarding drug paraphernalia a violation of a tobacco retailer license.
