IN ITS LAST MEETING, the Kennesaw City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of tobacco within the city limits to anyone under the age of 18 years.
The ordinance was an initiative of the Kennesaw Youth Council, an eight-member team of high school students who provide the mayor and council with a teen perspective on city matters, and it gained the support of the Cobb County Health Department.
The ordinance covers all kinds of tobacco products containing biologically active amounts of nicotine. It specifically states that retailers are responsible for determining the age of anyone attempting to purchase tobacco products. Vending machines dispensing tobacco will be prohibited in retail establishments unless the business limits admission to anyone age 18 and over.
