Local ordinances

In September 2022, Del Norte County Board of Supervisors adopted a Tobacco Retail License Ordinance requiring local tobacco retailer businesses to acquire a license to sell tobacco products. 

In October 2023, Crescent City Council adopted a Tobacco Retail License Ordinance similar to Del Norte County's. With these ordinances, stores with a pharmacy will no longer be allowed to sell tobacco and tobacco products and promotions will have to be placed further away from child friendly items. 

As of 2023, both jurisdictions in Del Norte County have a Smoke-Free Multi-unit Housing Ordinance which will protect tenants and staff at multi-unit dwellings from the harmful effects of secondhand and thirdhand smoke exposure.
