City Attorney Mike Feurer announced the temporary suspension of tobacco licensing to fourteen stores so far for selling tobacco to minors. Feurer, together with the Parent Center Group (PCG), is initiating a broad campaign to end the sale of tobacco and electronic cigarettes to minors. It includes verification of tobacco permits for businesses and educational programs for parents. They will work as a team with parents at the schools to detect any suspicious or illegal selling of tobacco and electronic cigarettes to minors. Feurer declared the start of the pilot program to educate parents in middle schools. Among them are Vista Middle in Van Nuys, Barack Obama Global, Joseph Le Conte, Leichty in Westlake and MacArthur Park. Paulino Guevara with the PCG, who is concerned with this issue said, “It is imperative that our communities and the City Attorney work together to resolve this abuse to our children. For this reason we must take responsibility because we as parents are as much at fault as well. The responsibility lies on both sides with store owners and the parents. We must raise awareness and take action now. I will be the first to enroll in this classes offered by the City Attorney’s Office and invite other parent’s to join in supporting our community cause.” To report illegal tobacco and electronic cigarettes to minors call 213 978 – 7970. To enroll for the class or to bring this campaign to your school call 818 792 – 3080
