electronic cigarettes

Tobacco Free for a Healthy New Jersey wants to help smokers, especially the youth, transition to a smoke-free lifestyle with quit centers, counseling, and education.

Bill is set for Monday approval, despite protests from vape shop owners who say it will force them out of business and send former smokers back to cigarettes.

Package of bills also increases fines for illegal sales, increases vape-shop licensing fees and hikes taxes on consumers.

A task force appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy heard more than three hours of testimony for and against a sweeping crackdown on electronic cigarettes.
