HB10

Hawaii HB10 amends tax law to exclude large cigars and pipe tobacco from unlawful shipment offenses when sold directly to adults for personal use.

Hawaii HB10 modifies the state's tax law to exclude the shipment of large cigars and pipe tobacco from the offense of unlawful shipment of tobacco products. This change applies when these products are sold directly to adults for personal use and not for resale. The bill notes that federal law allows mailing of large cigars and pipe tobacco, unlike cigarettes and electronic smoking devices, which has led to unintended consequences for adult consumers.
