Auto-generated summary
On June 21, 2023, the Chicago City Council and the Committee on License and Consumer Protection discussed amendments to the Municipal Code of Chicago, specifically Sections 4-64-100 and 4-64-350. They sought to redefine 'flavored tobacco products', including menthol, regulate their sale, except for large cigars and pipe tobacco, and impose a $1,000.00 - $5,000.00 fine for violations. The Commissioner of Public Health can adjust the price of exempted large cigars based on the Chicago-Gary-Kenosha area Consumer Price Index, with a 90-day rule announcement. The sale of any cigarette package containing fewer than 20 cigarettes is also prohibited.
