This bill aims to prevent the sale of tobacco products to minors and stop unlicensed tobacco retailing in Philadelphia. It does this by adding these behaviors to the list of nuisance actions that can lead to a business being ordered to stop operating. Businesses that break these rules may be required to complete a training program before they can reopen.
