Existing law prohibits a person from selling, distributing or offering to sell cigarettes, cigarette paper or other tobacco products to any person under 40 years of age without first performing age verification. (NRS 370.521) This bill provides an exception to that requirement, allowing the sale, distribution or offering of tobacco products without age verification in a face-to-face transaction that occurs within an area of a casino where persons under the age of 21 years are already prohibited from loitering. This bill becomes effective upon its passage by the Legislature and approval by the Governor.
