New Jersey A425 increases penalties for prohibited sales of tobacco and vapor products to minors.
New Jersey A425 amends existing laws to increase penalties for retailers selling tobacco and vapor products to individuals under 21 years of age. The bill defines "tobacco product" and "vapor product" and establishes a process for retailers to report compliance efforts and for individuals to anonymously report violations. It raises fines for violations, with five percent of the penalties recovered used by the Department of Health for educational programs and outreach initiatives. The bill also allows for license suspension or revocation for repeat offenders.
