Existing law, the Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act, prohibits a person from selling or otherwise furnishing tobacco products, as defined, to a person under 21 years of age. Under existing law, violations of the act are punishable by civil penalties, as specified, and primary enforcement of the act is the responsibility of the State Department of Public Health. Existing law prohibits a tobacco retailer, or any of the tobacco retailer's agents or employees, from selling, offering for sale, or possessing with the intent to sell or offer for sale, a flavored tobacco product or a tobacco product flavor enhancer, as those terms are defined, except as specified. Under existing law, a violation of this prohibition is punishable as an infraction. This bill would provide for the enforcement of these provisions in a manner similar to the STAKE Act, and, instead of an infraction, make the provisions of the flavored tobacco ban punishable by civil penalties in the same manner as the STAKE Act, as specified.
