## Resource

LA City Council just paused new vape and smoke shops in the 15th District for 45 days—unanimously—to tackle rising concerns about kids’ exposure near schools and parks. With over 3,000 tobacco retailers in LA and nearly half of schools within 500 feet of a shop, the move aims to model stricter rules after cities like SF and NYC, potentially expanding citywide. This isn’t just about one district—it’s about protecting youth and giving communities a voice in where businesses thrive.
