Syracuse Tobacco Retailers Map

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh on Friday signed a new city law that limits how many retailers will be able to sell tobacco products and where they can sell them. The mayor’s signature follows a public hearing on the law held Monday. Four people spoke, all in support of the measure. The Syracuse Common Council passed the law unanimously at its Sept. 5 meeting. The new local law creates a tobacco product retail licensing system within the city. Businesses licensed by the state to sell tobacco products, including vaping materials, will now have to apply annually for a city license, as well.
