American city first in the world banned the sale of cigarettes
Beverly Hills was the first city in the United States, which almost completely stopped the sale of tobacco products.
The city council voted unanimously to stop selling cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products, starting with 2021.
The ban applies to sales at gas stations and pharmacies, as well as in convenience stores and grocery stores. However, the ban excludes hotels and three chic cigar lounges in the rich and charming suburbs of Los Angeles.

The exception will be private clubs for cigarette lovers and hotels that can only sell nicotine products through room service.
The petrol station owners opposed this measure, saying that it was unfairly aimed at their business and could lead to the dismissal of employees.
In Beverly Hills, smoking is prohibited in homes, cars, gardens and parks.
