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

New Jersey's S 2979 bans the retail sale of flavored cigarettes (including menthol and clove, which were previously exempt), non-premium cigars, and oral nicotine pouches. It prohibits retailers from selling or distributing any tobacco product with a characterizing flavor other than tobacco (e.g., fruit, mint, candy, or menthol), excluding naturally occurring flavors. Violations incur civil penalties starting at $250 for the first offense, with potential license suspension for repeat violations. The bill updates existing 2008 law to close loopholes and applies to retailers, not individual consumers.
