As state and local governments increase restrictions on cigarette smoking, tobacco manufacturers have shifted to marketing alternative tobacco products. Tobacco control laws need to be updated to reflect this shifting marketplace. With the 2010 enactment of the Tobacco Modernization and Compliance Act, Minnesota addressed regulatory gaps and created a model law for other states. We have detailed the updated definitions of tobacco and tobacco products and identified ways that future laws could be strengthened.
随着州和地方政府加大对吸烟的限制，烟草制造商已转向销售替代烟草产品。需要更新烟草控制法，以反映这一不断变化的市场。随着 2010 年《烟草现代化和合规法案》的颁布，明尼苏达州解决了监管空白问题，并为其他州制定了示范法。我们详细说明了烟草和烟草制品的更新定义，并确定了未来法律可以加强的途径。
