Amherst tobacco licensing faces further tweaks before vote
The Amherst Council sent the tobacco licensing ordinance back to committee for revision with Jan. 16 discussion planned. Key issues include a $450 per store annual fee plus existing $125 licensing, strict age verification, and language on penalties. Local business owners fear high costs, while health advocates urge firm enforcement and consistent penalties.
