A 1687 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the packaging, sale and distribution of confectionery and candy designed to resemble a tobacco product

This bill bans the manufacture, sale, and distribution of candy or confectionery products designed to look like tobacco products (such as candy cigarettes or gum cigars). It directly affects candy manufacturers, sellers, and retailers who produce or market items mimicking cigarettes, pipes, or cigars. The law prohibits using tobacco-like packaging, branding, or descriptions, and violations carry civil fines of $100-$500. The policy change explicitly prevents candy resembling tobacco from being sold under existing confectionery laws.
