Bill Summary
Regulating flavored tobacco products
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate flavored tobacco products in Massachusetts. It defines "flavored tobacco product" as any tobacco product that contains a constituent that has or produces a distinguishable taste or aroma other than tobacco, including but not limited to fruit, chocolate, candy, or menthol flavors. The bill prohibits the sale or distribution of these flavored tobacco products, except in smoking bars, where they can only be used on-site. Violators would be subject to the same fines as violations of the existing tobacco laws. The bill also allows the Department of Public Health to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the provisions.
