MS SB2798

Amends Mississippi's Juvenile Tobacco Access Prevention Act to extend all restrictions and regulations to "alternative nicotine products" in addition to traditional tobacco products.

Prohibits sale of alternative nicotine products to anyone under 18 years of age under any circumstances, while traditional tobacco may be sold to licensed retailers under 18.

Requires point-of-sale warning signs at retailers selling tobacco or alternative nicotine products stating the age restriction and proof of age requirement.

Establishes penalties for violations including fines ranging from $25 to $250 depending on the offense, community service requirements, and potential suspension or revocation of retail permits.

Requires annual unannounced inspections by the Attorney General's office and local law enforcement to ensure compliance, with minors permitted to participate in compliance testing with parental consent.
