RE: Proposed Amendment to Dublin Municipal Code
Tobacco Retailers
I understand that the City Council is considering a change to eventually ban all cigarette sales in the City
of Dublin. I do not smoke, to object to this ordinance.
I have been a resident of Dublin for 9 years, and work in a convenience store/service station that sells
cigarettes. Most people that buy cigarettes also buy other items as well.
By banning the sale of cigarettes, these customers will probably go to other cities, like Pleasanton or San
Ramon (not that far away) to buy their gasoline, cigarettes, and other items.
All this ordinance will do is give other cities the revenue that Dublin needs.
Has the city thought this through to determine the revenue that will be lost? Not only from cigarette
sales, but all the other sales that will be lost from customers going elsewhere?
This ordinance will not stop cigarette sales, only stop revenue from coming into Dublin. As a citizen, I do
not think we can afford to lose the sales tax revenue and end up accomplishing nothing.
Sincerely, \
