The Sherburne County Board of Commissioners has voted 3-2 to enact a significant overhaul of its tobacco licensing ordinance, aiming to curb youth vaping and nicotine addiction. The new regulations, which will take effect on July 1, 2026, specifically target convenience stores in the county’s townships. Key provisions include a ban on the sale of flavored vape products in these locations and raising the minimum age for employees selling tobacco from 16 to 18.
