The City Council hereby finds and declares that a ban on the use of self service displays of tobacco products is necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of youth by reducing and/or restricting the availability of these products to those persons under the age of 18 years. Self service tobacco displays contribute to youth use of tobacco by promoting shoplifting and illegal sales. The restrictions of availability of tobacco products to minors is a goal of the city.
