What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

products by or for minors.

Current law prohibits certain actors, such as retailers and manufacturers, from

age of 18 (a minor), and from providing cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine

products for free to any person unless the cigarettes or products are provided in a

place where minors are generally not permitted to enter. This bill similarly prohibits

the sale or provision of vapor products, such as e-cigarettes and vape pens, to minors.

Current law also prohibits a minor from purchasing, attempting to purchase,

possessing, or falsely representing his or her age for the purpose of receiving any

cigarette, nicotine product, or tobacco product, with certain limited exceptions.

Current law also prohibits any person from purchasing cigarettes, nicotine products,

or tobacco products on behalf of a minor. This bill similarly prohibits the purchase

of vapor products by or on behalf of minors.
