The proposed legislative act for tobacco legislation in New Mexico includes comprehensive provisions to protect public health, particularly among children. The act includes strong prohibitions, such as the selling of tobacco products to people under the age of 21, as well as the prohibition of flavored tobacco products. It defines terminology like "characterizing flavor" and specifies packaging regulations, with an emphasis on child-resistant packaging for nicotine liquid. Vending machine regulations are imposed, allowing sales exclusively in age-restricted areas and prohibiting flavored items. Additionally, merchants must clearly display signs emphasizing age limitations and the illegality of selling flavored tobacco products.
