Summary

The bill bars anyone licensed to sell cigarettes, cigars, e‑cigarettes, vaping liquid or similar products from directly or indirectly marketing them to people younger than 21. It also bans the use of cartoons, superheroes, video‑game references, kid‑focused food images, teen‑oriented trademarks, youth‑associated celebrities, or images of people who look under 27 in such ads, and restricts ads in media or venues where minors make up at least 15% of the audience or are within 500 feet of a school. The aim is to limit youth exposure to tobacco promotion.
