The Board of Aldermen may suspend or, after a hearing, revoke a cigarette permit whenever it finds that the holder thereof has failed to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter or any rules or regulations prescribed or promulgated under this chapter, or sells cigarettes to minors in violation of state statute. Upon suspending or revoking any cigarette permit, the Board of Aldermen shall request the holder thereof to surrender to the City Collector immediately all permits or duplicates thereof, and the holder shall surrender promptly all such permits to the City Collector as requested. Whenever the Board of Aldermen shall suspend a cigarette permit, it shall cause the holder to be notified immediately and afford him or her a hearing if desired. After such hearing, the Board of Aldermen shall rescind its order of suspension, or if good cause appears therefor, shall continue the suspension or revoke the permit.
