“Vaping shops and other tobacco retail outlets in New Mexico would be licensed and regulated by the state for the first time, under a proposal headed toward a decisive state House vote. The Senate-approved bill would license retail tobacco vendors and apply administrative sanctions against prohibited sales to youths under age 21. A House panel on health policy endorsed the bill Monday, setting up a House floor vote. The Legislature has until noon Thursday to send bills to the governor. Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham supports the regulatory framework. Retailers would initially pay $750 per location to apply for a license and $400 for renewals. The fees would help pay for the administration of licenses and enforcement activities.”
