“Beginning Oct. 1, job seekers applying to work for Flagler County will not only face termination for using tobacco products, but will be denied employment if they admit to using tobacco within one year of their application date. ‘The tobacco ban applies to anything that would produce nicotine,’ said Joseph Mayer, Flagler County’s community services director. That includes cigarettes, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, pipes and snuff. When asked if the new tobacco ban would apply to the county commissioners, Mayer responded in an email, ‘As such, the policy does not apply to our County Commission or those individuals who may run for office in the future.'”
