Prohibits sale of tobacco products and electronic smoking devices at pharmacies and certain businesses with on-site pharmacies.
This bill prohibits pharmacies and businesses with on-site pharmacies in New Jersey from selling tobacco products (including cigarettes and smokeless tobacco) or electronic smoking devices (like vapes and e-cigarettes) and their components. It directly affects pharmacy owners and retail businesses operating with pharmacies, such as grocery stores with in-house pharmacies. Exceptions include FDA-approved smoking cessation products and medical cannabis dispensaries serving registered patients. Violations carry escalating civil penalties starting at $250 for the first offense, with potential disciplinary action from the Board of Pharmacy.
