A San Rafael assemblyman's bill would make it illegal to sell cigarettes and other tobacco products to anyone born after Jan. 1, 2007.
SACRAMENTO -- Some California lawmakers want to eventually ban all tobacco sales in the nation's most populous state, filing legislation to make it illegal to sell cigarettes and other products to anyone born after Jan. 1, 2007.
California Assemblymember Damon Connolly, a Democrat from San Rafael, speaks to reporters in Sacramento on Feb. 23, 2023.The proposal is likely to face strong opposition from the tobacco industry, which would fight to maintain access to its largest U.S. market. If the ban were to become law, the industry could sue to block it. It could also challenge the ban at the ballot box, asking voters to stop it from taking effect.
In 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law banning the sale of most flavored tobacco products in the state. The tobacco industry asked voters to block the law, but in November voters allowed it to take effect.
