SB 379 – Cigarettes and Tobacco Products

The House & Senate worked out their differences on Senate Bill 0379 regarding cigarettes and tobacco products. It appears to enhance restrictions on sale of cigarettes to Indiana citizens by out of state vendors while relaxing restrictions on other tobacco products. My guess would be that this is an attempt to avoid people dodging taxes on mass-produced cigarettes but attempting to allow Hoosiers more varied access to possibly more exotic and specialized tobacco products such as cigars and pipe tobacco.
