IL HB3208

Raises the legal age to purchase, possess, and use tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and alternative nicotine products from 18 to 21 years old.

Changes the act's title from "Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors" to "Prevention of Tobacco Use by Persons under 21 Years of Age" throughout relevant statutes.

Defines "electronic cigarette" and "alternative nicotine product" to include vaping devices, e-cigars, and non-tobacco nicotine products, with certain exclusions for FDA-approved cessation products and medical devices.

Establishes penalties for retailers violating age restrictions, with increased fines and license suspension periods (3 days for fourth violation with training program; up to 30 days without training program).

Repeals the Smokeless Tobacco Limitation Act and makes conforming changes to cigarette delivery sales laws, minimum-age training program requirements, and display/vending regulations to align with the new age threshold.
