Bill Summary

For legislation to provide a penalty for the sale to minors of "blunt wraps" made from tobacco and used for cigars. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law to specifically address the sale of "blunt wraps," which are defined as cigar wraps made from tobacco. It adds "blunt wraps" to the definition of tobacco products in Chapter 64E, Section 1, and also includes them in Chapter 270, Section 6, which likely pertains to prohibited sales or regulations. Crucially, the bill introduces new regulations for the retail sale of blunt wraps, making it illegal to display advertisements for them within two feet of candy, snacks, or non-alcoholic beverages, and also prohibiting displays that are less than four feet from the floor. These provisions aim to restrict the visibility and accessibility of blunt wraps, particularly in relation to products commonly purchased by minors.
