“From mom-and-pop shops to the big retail chains, pharmacies in New Jersey would be prohibited from selling tobacco and vaping products if a bill that state panel approved Tuesday becomes law. The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee that Vitale chairs approved the bill by a 5-3 vote. No one testified for or against the bill during the brief, virtual hearing. Before the vote, the bill was amended to say department stores, supermarkets and box stores with pharmacies would be exempt, a move sought by retailers. The legislation now moves to the full, 40-member Senate for a vote.”
