Increases fines for selling single cigarettes and cigarettes in packs of less than 20.

This bill increases penalties for selling single cigarettes or cigarettes in packs of fewer than 20, which is already prohibited under New Jersey law. Vending machine owners face daily fines of $200-$1,000 (up from $100-$500), and retail sellers pay $500 for a first offense (up from $250) or $1,000 for repeat offenses (up from $500). It directly affects businesses operating vending machines or selling cigarettes at retail in non-compliant packaging. The bill strengthens existing fines without changing the prohibition on such sales.
