relative to fines for prohibited sales of tobacco.

This bill strengthens New Hampshire's tobacco regulations by updating definitions to include "alternative nicotine products" and explicitly banning the sale of rolling papers to minors. It prohibits the distribution of free samples of tobacco and nicotine products in public places or to anyone under 21, with specific exceptions for controlled environments like stores and trade shows. The legislation establishes a tiered penalty system for violations, ranging from fines and license suspensions for first and second offenses to potential license revocation for repeated infractions. Additionally, it reinforces existing laws against minors purchasing, possessing, or using tobacco and nicotine products while allowing necessary handling by employed minors.
