TOBACCO-SAMPLES PROHIBITED
Summary

Provides that a person shall not distribute without charge samples of any tobacco product to any other person, regardless of age: (1) at a retail establishment selling tobacco products; (2) from a lunch wagon; or (3) on a public way as a promotion or advertisement of a tobacco manufacturer or tobacco product.
