A new Chapter 4.99 is hereby added to Tile 4 of the San Mateo County Ordinance Code to be numbered and entitled and to read in its entirety as follows: CHAPTER 4.99 SALES OF FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS PROHIBITED 4.99.010 -Application of Chapter. The provisions of this chapter shall apply within the unincorporated area of San Mateo County. 4.99.020 -Definitions. For the purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall govern unless the context clearly requires otherwise: (a) "Characterizing Flavor" means a distinguishable taste or aroma or both, other than the taste or aroma of tobacco, imparted by a Tobacco Product or any byproduct produced by the Tobacco Product. Characterizing Flavors include, but are not limited to, tastes or aroma relating to any fruit, chocolate, vanilla, honey, candy, cocoa, dessert, alcoholic beverage, menthol, mint, wintergreen, herb, or spice. A Tobacco Product shall not be determined to have a Characterizing Flavor solely because of the use of additives or flavorings or the provision of ingredient information. Rather, it is the presence of a distinguishable taste or aroma or both, as described in the first sentence of this definition that constitutes a Characterizing Flavor. (b) "Constituent" means any ingredient, substance, chemical, or compound, other than tobacco, water, or reconstituted tobacco sheet that is added by the manufacturer to a Tobacco Product during the processing, manufacture, or packing of the Tobacco Product. (c) "Distinguishable" means perceivable by either the sense of smell or taste. (d) "Flavored Tobacco Product" means any Tobacco Product that contains a constituent that impacts a Characterizing Flavor. (e) "Labeling" means written, printed, pictorial, or graphic matter upon any Tobacco Product or any of its Packaging. (f) "Packaging" means a pack, box, carton, or container of any kind or, if no other container, any wrapping (including cellophane) in which a Tobacco Product is sold or offered for sale to a consumer. 3 :.
