## Description

Ohio's Tobacco 21 initiative is a comprehensive public health law aiming to prevent the sale of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 21. As of October 17, 2019, it is illegal to sell, distribute, or give away cigarettes, electronic smoking devices, cigars, and other tobacco products to anyone under 21 years old. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce youth access to harmful nicotine products, including vapes and e-cigarettes. 

Under this law, a wide range of products is regulated, including cigarette alternatives, vapor products, and all nicotine-containing items. Retailers are required to display clear signage that indicates the legal age for purchasing such products and must undergo training to ensure compliance with the law. The Ohio Department of Health oversees the regulation, providing resources and information to retailers and the public while establishing penalties for non-compliance. Overall, Tobacco 21 reflects Ohio's commitment to fostering a healthier environment for its youth.
