Requires inspections of retail cigarette and vapor product dealers.
This bill bans the sale of flavored cigarettes (except tobacco, clove, or menthol) and all flavored vapor products in New Jersey. It directly affects retail stores selling these products by requiring local health agencies to inspect them at least twice yearly. Retailers violating the flavor ban face escalating civil penalties ($250-$1,000 for cigarettes; $500-$2,000 for vapor products) and possible license suspension or revocation after repeated offenses. Violations also allow for seized products to be destroyed and fines paid to the municipality where the violation occurred.
