SF 1716 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Tobacco and moist snuff definition modification

Minnesota Senate File 1716 modifies definitions related to tobacco products in Minnesota law. It updates the definition of "moist snuff" to specifically include finely cut, ground, or powdered smokeless tobacco containing nicotine intended for oral use. The bill also amends the definition of "tobacco products" to explicitly include nicotine solution products and moist snuff, while excluding FDA-approved tobacco cessation products sold solely for medical purposes. These changes affect how tobacco products are classified under state law, particularly for regulatory and tax purposes, and take effect July 1, 2025.
