Here is the link to the proposed ballot measure, which was somehow not linked to by ANY of the sources covering this story. https://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/LI031919.pdf Looks to be two separate measures, one banning all nicotine products from being sold, manufactured, or distributed from City property, the 2nd banning all Non-FDA approved products (vapes) from the entire city: 190311 & 190312, respectively.

Nice, thanks! Yeah, it's ridiculous that news sites seem to be deathly averse to actually linking to sources; if they took a cue from Wikipedia maybe they'd be less vulnerable to "fake news" accusations...

Thanks to that, I was able to find the "legislative background" for the restriction on non-FDA-approved tobacco products: https://sfosb.org/sites/default/files/documents/SBC/190312%2...

And for the prohibition of tobacco sale/manufacture/distribution from city property: https://sfosb.org/sites/default/files/documents/SBC/190311%2...
