Permits new cigar lounges to be opened under certain circumstances.

This bill allows new cigar lounges to open in New Jersey municipalities that adopt specific local ordinances permitting them. It requires these lounges to be registered with local health boards and prohibits the sale of food or alcohol, bans hookah use, mandates separate entrances, and requires proper ventilation systems. Existing lounges that generated at least 15% of their income from tobacco sales and humidors before 2004 may continue operating if they meet renewal requirements, while new establishments must adhere to strict operational standards. The law also exempts tobacco retail stores, manufacturing facilities, private homes, and designated areas within casinos from these restrictions.
