Bill Prohibits Purchasing Tobacco Products for Minors |
10/27/2011
Earlier this week, the state Assembly passed Assembly Bill 93 on a voice vote. Under the legislation, which WPHA and WALHDAB support, individuals are statutorily prohibited from purchasing or providing tobacco products for minors. Under a substitute amendment that was also approved, the legislation is expanded to include all “nicotine products,” which are defined as any product that contains nicotine and is not a cigarette, a tobacco product or a product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a smoking cessation product. The bill will now be considered in the Senate. More information on the bill and the substitute amendment is available in the
Legislative Council memo
