An Act to protect youth from the harms of tobacco and e-cigarette products

This bill restricts the sale of tobacco and e-cigarette products in Massachusetts to specific locations known as adult-only retail tobacco stores or smoking bars. Under the new rules, manufacturers and retailers are prohibited from selling these items to anyone under the age of 21 outside of these designated venues. The law defines adult-only stores as businesses whose main purpose is selling tobacco products where minors are not allowed to enter at any time. Additionally, the legislation ensures that local and state governments retain the authority to impose even stricter regulations on tobacco sales.
