In promoting the health, safety, and general welfare of its residents, the County
of Los Angeles has a substantial interest in encouraging compliance with federal,
state, and local laws regulating tobacco sales and use; in discouraging the purchase
and use of tobacco products by minors; in increasing compliance with laws prohibiting
the sale of tobacco products to minors; and in protecting children from being lured
into illegal activity through the misconduct of adults. It is the intent of this ordinance
to encourage responsible tobacco retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco-related
laws, especially those that prohibit the sale or distribution of tobacco products
to minors, but not to expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by federal
or state law are criminally proscribed or otherwise regulated.
