Purpose and Findings.
1. 
The practice of fortunetelling, as defined in this section, has historically been subject to abuse by certain unscrupulous practitioners using the practice to commit fraud and larceny upon clients.
2. 
The City Council wishes to regulate the practice of fortunetelling to reduce the risk of fraud and larceny to clients while allowing fortunetellers to provide their services with only minimal restrictions.
3. 
The provisions of this section will make it more difficult for an unscrupulous fortuneteller to commit fraud or larceny, and yet as informational regulations will not affect the nature of the information conveyed or the manner of conveyance.
4. 
The regulations require only minimal expense and effort on the part of the fortuneteller and, therefore, will not impose any undue burdens on the fortuneteller's practice.
5. 
Fortunetelling for entertainment purposes, as defined in this section, does not create the same risk of fraud and larceny by unscrupulous practitioners as would the practice with an individual client because it is done with a group at a public place for the purposes of entertaining and not to deal with the private concerns of an individual.
6. 
Fortunetelling for religious purposes, as defined in this section, creates a low risk of consumer fraud.

A. 
Findings of Fact.
1. 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) a Class A carcinogen and has determined that ETS is a major source of indoor air pollution and a cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers.
2. 
While all members of the population are at increased risk due to exposure to ETS, it constitutes a special health hazard for children, the elderly, and people with chronic lung disorders, cardiovas-cular disease, and obstructive airway disease.
3. 
State law prohibits the sale of tobacco products and e-cigarettes to individuals under the age of 18.

It has been shown that minors have access to tobacco in vending machines. State and Federal law require retail sales of cigarettes to be vendor-assisted and conducted face-to-face with few exceptions.
5. 
While e-cigarettes are too new for longitudinal studies on their health effects, current research indicates that chemicals contained in e-cigarettes may be harmful and that vaping does release contents of e-cigarettes into the air.

F. 
E-Cigarette Defined. For purposes of this section, "e-cigarette" means any electronic oral device, such as one composed of a heating element, battery and/or electronic circuit, which provides a vapor of nicotine or any other substances, and the use or inhalation of which simulates smoking. The term shall include any such device, whether manufactured, distributed, marketed, or sold as an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, hookah pen, or under any other product name or descriptor.

A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to reduce the ability of minors to purchase cigarettes and e-cigarettes by eliminating self-service displays in the City.
B. 
Findings.
1. 
Each year more than 400,000 Americans die prematurely from tobacco-related illnesses. Tobacco use has been linked to cancer, emphysema, heart disease and a variety of other life-threatening health problems.
2. 
These health problems create a burden for local communities, and more specifically for the City. In addition to the health care cost for these diseases, there is the lost human and economic contributions of each individual who suffers from the preventable effects of tobacco use.
3. 
According to the 2013 State Health Officer's Report on Tobacco Use and Promotion in California, 64% of California smokers start by the age of 18. The California Department of Public Health Tobacco Control Program has found that while adult tobacco use has been declining, youth use, including use of new tobacco products, has been rising.
4. 
All 50 states, and the District of Columbia, prohibit the sale of tobacco products to minors. California State Penal Code Section 308(a) and 308(b) prohibit the sale of tobacco products and paraphernalia to minors and possession of tobacco by a minor. However, from 2010 to 2012 illegal sales of tobacco products to minors increased in California.
5. 
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 30101.7 requires retail sales of cigarettes to be vendor-assisted and conducted face-to-face, except in limited circumstances involving mail-order sales.
6. 
In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration enacted regulations that require cigarette and smokeless tobacco retailers to verify the age of each purchaser by photographic identification, to only sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco in a direct, face-to-face exchange, and to not use self-service displays and vending machines for cigarettes and smokeless tobacco unless they are located in a facility where no person younger than 18 may enter.
7. 
According to the 2013 State Health Officer's Report on Tobacco Use and Promotion in California, youth are more likely to smoke if they are exposed to tobacco product displays.
8. 
State law prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.
9. 
While e-cigarettes are too new for longitudinal studies on their health effects, current research indicates that chemicals contained in e-cigarettes may be harmful and that vaping does release contents of e-cigarettes into the air.
10. 
According to the Center for Disease Control, from 2011 to 2012 e-cigarette use increased significantly among middle school and high school students.
