SB 829 - This act modifies the Indoor Clean Air Act to include vapor products such as electronic cigarettes and vapor cartridges in the definition of "smoking", thereby extending existing prohibitions on smoking in public places, public schools, and child day care facilities, outside of designated areas, to such products. This act raises the age under which the sale of certain tobacco, alternative nicotine, or vapor products to a minor shall be prohibited from 18 years to 21 years. The Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control may employ a person between 17 and 20 years of age, with parental consent for persons under 18, to attempt to purchase tobacco for the purpose of inspection or enforcement of tobacco laws. Additionally, vapor products, including those devices classified as electronic nicotine delivery systems, shall be taxed and regulated as tobacco products. Any person who engages in the sale of liquid nicotine containers or vapor products that contain any amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or any other controlled substances shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
