Godfather Politics: A city in left-wing California aims to become the first city in U.S. history to ban the sale of all tobacco products everywhere. Unless you are rich enough to join an exclusive cigar lounge.

Beverly Hills, California, is about to become the first city to ban the sale of tobacco products with an exception that would allow posh cigar lounges to remain in business, according to The Blaze.

The ordinance was passed by the city council on Tuesday to ban all sales of tobacco and e-cigarettes at all retailers.

“We are a city that has taken the lead on restricting smoking and promoting public health,” Mayor John Mirisch said in a statement. “Somebody has to be first, so let it be us.”

A final vote is set for June 4and if approved will take effect in 2021.

However, the exception is amusing for its blatant “privilege.” more here
