Increases penalties for certain prohibited sales of tobacco and vapor products.
New Jersey's S 4828 increases penalties for retailers selling tobacco or vapor products (like e-cigarettes) to people under 21. It raises fines to $750 for a first violation, $1,500 for a second, and $3,000 for third or subsequent violations. The bill requires retailers to post visible warning signs about underage sales penalties and establishes anonymous reporting for violations. Five percent of collected fines must fund public health education on vapor product risks for retailers and minors.
