STAKE Act: definitions.
Summary
Existing law, the Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act, authorizes the State Department of Public Health to establish and develop a program to reduce the availability of tobacco products to persons under 21 years of age through specified enforcement activities. The existing STAKE Act defines a "tobacco product" as a product containing, made, or derived from tobacco or nicotine that is intended for human consumption, whether smoked, heated, chewed, absorbed, dissolved, inhaled, snorted, sniffed, or ingested by any other means, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, little cigars, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, or snuff. The existing STAKE Act also defines a "tobacco product" as an electronic device that delivers nicotine or other vaporized liquids to the person inhaling from the device, including, but not limited to, an electronic cigarette, cigar, pipe, or hookah, and any component, part, or accessory of a tobacco product, whether or not sold separately. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
