Revises provisions relating to tobacco. (BDR 32-158)
AB 279 prohibits the sale or possession of vapor products not approved by the federal health agency (U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services). It bans cigarette sales to anyone born after December 31, 2004, except at licensed gaming venues. Counties can now enforce these restrictions through local ordinances targeting people under 21, including bans on purchasing cigarettes (except at gaming sites) for those born after 2004. The law also requires the state to maintain a public directory of federally approved vapor products.
