AI Summary

This bill aims to protect youth from the harms of tobacco and e-cigarette products. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to define "Adult-Only Retail Tobacco Store" and restrict the sale of tobacco products to such stores or smoking bars, which prohibit the entry of persons under the minimum legal sales age. The bill also ensures that the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions can enact stricter regulations on the sale and distribution of tobacco products and smoking bars.
