See the Data. Protect Our Community.
Good decisions start with good information. See what our community is saying about youth tobacco use, Tobacco Retail Licensing, and keeping products out of the hands of young people.
Why Community Data Matters
Community data helps leaders understand what is happening in our neighborhoods — so they can make better decisions to protect youth. It can show:
If youth can easily get tobacco or vape products
If stores are following tobacco laws
What residents think about Tobacco Retail Licensing
Where more education & enforcement may be needed

What We Learned
Youth Access
Many residents believe it is still too easy for young people to get tobacco.
Community Support
Most residents support stronger local policies that protect youth.
Retailer Accountability
Residents support regular inspections so stores follow the law.
Enforcement
Support fair penalties for repeat violations: fines, suspension, revocation.
Why Enforcement Matters
California already bans most flavored tobacco. A local Tobacco Retail License helps communities:
- Monitor retailers
- Support inspections
- Improve compliance
- Help enforce existing laws
Local Retail Findings
More than one-third of Fullerton tobacco retailers were selling flavored tobacco products.
Many tobacco-only stores were also selling flavored products — which is why education and enforcement remain important.
