California SB 793, upheld by 2022 voter referendum Proposition 31, bans the sale of most flavored tobacco products statewide, including in Fresno, with limited exceptions for premium cigars, loose-leaf tobacco, and hookah.
California Senate Bill 793, codified at Health and Safety Code §§104559.5-104559.7 and confirmed by voters via Proposition 31 in November 2022, prohibits retailers from selling most flavored tobacco products statewide. Banned products include menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars under $12, flavored e-cigarette cartridges, and most flavored vape liquids. Limited exceptions cover premium cigars priced above $12, loose-leaf pipe tobacco, and shisha hookah tobacco sold at age-restricted licensed hookah lounges. Fresno County Public Health and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration enforce the ban through retail inspections and license actions. Fresno does not have a stricter local flavor ban.
Selling banned flavored tobacco triggers $250 fines per violation under Cal. H&S Code §104559.5(d), with possible state cigarette and tobacco license suspension or revocation by CDTFA for repeat offenders.
