The law defines tobacco products broadly to cover nicotine products and vapor devices, and prohibits sales to anyone under 21, with specific rules for venues like cigar bars that restrict entry to those 21 or older. Retailers must verify customer age and comply with restrictions, such as banning sales to minors and prohibiting vaping in certain establishments. The commission will conduct compliance checks by sending individuals aged 16-20 to attempt purchases to ensure retailers follow the new rules.
