An act relating to the regulation of tobacco products and tobacco substitutes

Summary

The bill requires more businesses that sell cigarettes, nicotine pouches and other tobacco substitutes to obtain a separate tobacco license, raises the associated fees, and separates those licenses from liquor permits. It also increases civil penalties for unlicensed sales, sales to anyone under 21, and for illegal internet sales, while directing all revenue from fees and penalties to a new Tobacco Trust Fund for prevention and cessation programs. A new enforcement investigator is added to the Department of Liquor and Lottery to oversee compliance.
