A 4572 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Regulates certain vapor products.

This bill strengthens New Jersey's existing laws against selling tobacco and vaping products to minors by increasing penalties for retailers and employees who violate age restrictions. It directly affects tobacco and vape shops, their staff, and anyone distributing these products by making it a petty disorderly offense to sell to anyone under 21. The key provisions raise civil fines for first, second, and subsequent violations, require retailers to verify age with valid identification, and allow for license suspension after repeated offenses. Additionally, 25% of collected fines must be allocated to youth-focused prevention education programs.
