Preemption is an issue that refers to State tobacco control laws that include a clause barring, or pre-empting, its localities from enacting tobacco control ordinances that are stricter than the State’s. preemption is often presented as a State’s rights issue, but the implication for youth tobacco access is that such a statute then renders illegal any policy that individual counties and communities may wish to enact, or have already enacted, to support the health of their youth.
