Virginia SB142 amends the Code of Virginia to prohibit the sale of retail tobacco products and hemp products intended for smoking to individuals under 21 years of age. Retailers must verify the age of purchasers and may be fined up to $500 for violations. The bill also defines "electronic smoking device" and "retail tobacco product," and specifies that the prohibition does not apply to mail order or Internet sales if certain conditions are met.
