Public Notice
The city council of the city of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 664, an ordinance amending
chapter 6 of the city code of ordinances regarding tobacco, tobacco-related devices, and electronic
delivery devices. The purpose of the ordinance is to modify the City’s tobacco regulations to conform
to recently enacted state and federal legislation, which prohibits the sale of tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 21. The ordinance replaces all previous tobacco sales regulations relating
to individuals under the age of 18 with same or similar regulations relating to individuals under the
age of 21. The ordinance also establishes updated definitions of the terms “tobacco,” “tobacco-related
devices,” and “electronic delivery devices” that are consistent with state statute, modifies the City’s
compliance check program to include persons between the ages of 17 and 20 years, and amends the
City’s administrative penalties for tobacco licensees and other individuals in a manner that is
otherwise consistent with state law. The full text of Ordinance No. 664 is available for inspection at
