High school students from Marin County’s Youth Advocacy Committee urged the Novato City Council to toughen local tobacco regulations after presenting data showing youth nicotine use in Novato outpacing statewide averages. They asked the council to update Novato’s tobacco retail license to increase minimum prices, require larger pack sizes, prohibit discounts and coupons, and end sales of e-cigarettes, vapes, and nicotine pouches.
