AI Summary

This bill prohibits the sale of electronic cigarettes, also known as "e-cigarettes," to persons under the age of 18 in Massachusetts. It amends the existing state law to include e-cigarettes within the definition of prohibited tobacco products that cannot be sold to minors. The bill establishes a fine structure for violations, with increasing penalties for repeat offenses. This law aims to prevent underage access to e-cigarettes, which have become a growing public health concern, particularly among young people.
