Revise tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor product laws
This bill expands Montana's tobacco laws to include alternative nicotine and vapor products by updating legal definitions and licensing requirements. It removes a previous prohibition that prevented local governments from passing ordinances banning the sale of tobacco products, allowing cities and counties to enact their own restrictions if they choose. The legislation amends multiple state statutes to ensure these new product categories are treated consistently with traditional tobacco under existing regulations. The changes apply to businesses selling these products, local governments considering sales bans, and state agencies overseeing tobacco licensing and compliance.
