San Francisco becomes first US city to ban sale of e-cigarettes
The city is fighting the rise of youth vaping despite Juul, the biggest producer of e-cigarettes, being right in its backyard
San Francisco voted to ban e-cigarettes in the first legislation of its kind in the United States.
Supervisors approved a measure banning the sale and distribution of e-cigarettes in an effort to curb the rise of youth vaping. The measure will now go for final approval to San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who said she will sign the legislation, and stores in the city will be required to remove e-cigarettes from their shelves.
