CLEVELAND — Cleveland 's Director of Public Health Dave Margolius, is urging Cleveland City Council to follow through on legislation to impose cigarette sales restrictions as soon as possible.
"In Cleveland the pressure is now back on us to pass a law to protect our residents where we have one of the highest smoking rates in the country," Margolius said. “We hope that city council is ready to hold a hearing so that we can discuss this extremely important issue for the health of our residents.”
However, long-time Cleveland tobacco retailers like Haytham Mustafa, General Manager of Convenience Food Mart on Clark Avenue, told News 5 that a ban on the sale of menthol cigarettes would have a devastating impact on small business owners and would have only a small impact on slowing nicotine addiction, with buyers simply driving to neighboring cities to get the cigarettes they want.
