HB 282 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Tobacco products.

HB 282 expands Wyoming's definition of "tobacco products" to explicitly include electronic cigarettes, vapor materials, and related accessories, requiring all such products to comply with existing tobacco regulations. It strengthens enforcement by allowing courts to issue 180-day sales bans against retailers (including online sellers) who repeatedly violate minor sales prohibitions. The bill also increases cigarette excise tax rates, raising the tax from $0.006 to $0.011 per cigarette for certain types. These changes directly affect retailers (both physical and online), minors (through enhanced age restrictions), and consumers (via higher product costs).
