The purpose of this article is to license establishments that
sell electronic smoking devices and related products. This license
will help the Township of Cedar Grove to ensure compliance with state
law that bans the sale, furnishing or giving of tobacco products and
electronic smoking devices to persons under age 19, with any local
ordinance of the Township of Cedar Grove that increases such minimum
age, and with the 2016 state law N.J.S.A. 2A:170-51.9 et seq. requiring
child-resistant packaging of refills for these devices. The funds
collected by licensing of such establishments shall be used to fund
the development and maintenance of programs related to tobacco cessation,
prevention and control as may be established and/or administered by
the Cedar Grove Health Department.
