A 1810 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sale of flavored cigarettes, non-premium cigars, and oral nicotine pouches.

This bill bans the sale of flavored cigarettes (including menthol, which was previously exempt), non-premium cigars, and oral nicotine pouches in New Jersey. It defines "flavored" as any added taste or aroma (like fruit, mint, or chocolate) that makes a product taste or smell other than tobacco, excluding naturally occurring flavors without added flavorings. Retailers who sell these products face civil penalties starting at $250 for the first violation, increasing to $1,000 for third and subsequent offenses. Repeat violations may also lead to suspension or revocation of a retailer's tobacco sales license.
