California Senate Bill 793, upheld by voters as Proposition 31 in 2022, bans the retail sale of most flavored tobacco products including menthol cigarettes and flavored vape liquids. Long Beach enforces the ban through tobacco retailer licensing.
California Senate Bill 793 (2020), codified in Health and Safety Code Section 104559.5, prohibits retailers from selling flavored tobacco products such as menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, and flavored e-cigarette liquids. Voters affirmed the law as Proposition 31 in November 2022. Limited exemptions exist for hookah at age-restricted establishments, premium cigars priced above the statutory threshold, and pipe tobacco. Long Beach Environmental Health enforces alongside tobacco retailer license compliance checks under LBMC Chapter 5.40 (Tobacco Retailers Licensing). Repeat violations trigger escalating license suspensions up to revocation. The state Department of Public Health investigates manufacturer-side violations.
Sale of flavored tobacco can result in fines starting at two hundred fifty dollars under HSC 104559.5, escalating to over one thousand dollars per violation, plus suspension or revocation of the Long Beach tobacco retailer license under LBMC 5.40.
