‘We don’t want them in our city’: SF officials seek Juul crackdown

San Francisco officials proposed legislation Tuesday that would ban the sale of e-cigarettes in the city and prohibit e-cigarette companies like Juul from occupying city-owned property in the future.

Two bills authored by City Attorney Dennis Herrera and Supervisor Shamann Walton — whose district includes Juul’s corporate headquarters in the Dogpatch neighborhood — are part of several actions the city wants to pursue to crack down on youth vaping in general, and Juul in particular.

Walton said the proposed legislation should also serve as a warning and statement to Juul that “we don’t want them in our city.”

Juul is currently headquartered on Port of San Francisco property in Pier 70.
