Comments on the anti cigarette bill in Utah
A public and legislative debate critiques the Southwick cigarette bill as ineffective. It notes the measure bans sale or barter within Utah while allowing importation for personal use and imposes smoking restrictions only in enumerated places, leaving broad nonenclosed areas unregulated. The amendments add strict license sales and tighten minor tobacco provisions amid broader calls for state department reforms, budget, and taxation discussions.
