Full Breakdown
" The same subsection separately caps the visible display area of tobacco products and paraphernalia at "10 percent of the total floor area of a business establishment," excluding licensed smoke shops as defined elsewhere in the Development Code. " A TRL renewal is granted "only if no violations are found during the annual compliance monitoring inspection," so a retailer caught selling flavored product risks losing its license at the next renewal cycle in addition to any citation.
Violations & Fines
Selling flavored tobacco or presumptive flavored tobacco products violates the tobacco operational standards and is grounds for denial or revocation of the retailer's Tobacco Retailer License under Section 16-3.07.015(b)(3). Because the operational standards are Development Code requirements, a violation is also enforceable under Chapter 1.04, Section 1.04.010, as a misdemeanor under California Penal Code Section 19 or an infraction with escalating fines from $100 up to $1,000 for repeat violations within a year.
