ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A Florida county has passed an ordinance to restrict the sale of tobacco products to individuals under 21-years-old.
The Alachua County Commission passed the ordinance Tuesday and it's expected to take effect in nine months, according to WCJB.
WCJB reports that vendors will have to apply for a one year license to sell tobacco products and vendors won't be able to sell within a thousand feet of a public school.
If a license is revoked for violations, it cannot be re-issued. Each city within the county has time to opt out of the ordinance.
