retail licensing; electronic smoking devices
HB 2778 updates Arizona's laws regarding electronic smoking devices and vapor products by prohibiting sales to individuals under 21. It directly affects minors under 21 (who face fines up to $500 for purchasing or falsely claiming age) and retailers (who must verify age and face penalties for violations). The bill clarifies definitions to include e-cigarettes, vape pens, and related products under "vapor products," while excluding FDA-approved nicotine products. Key provisions require retailers to verify age before sale and impose fines for selling to minors or allowing underage possession.
