Montana HB177 revises tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor product laws, including definitions, licensing, sales restrictions, and penalties.

Montana HB177 revises laws relating to tobacco products by expanding definitions to include alternative nicotine and vapor products. It mandates that these products be sold only with a license from the Department of Revenue and prohibits sales to individuals under 18 years of age. The bill also outlines penalties for violations, including fines and license suspensions. It repeals the prohibition on local ordinances that restrict the sale of tobacco products, allowing local governments to adopt their own regulations.
