The General Assembly finds that:
(1)
Herbal snuff is a tobaccoless snuff, available as loose composition or in pouches, that is primarily marketed as an adult alternative for moist smokeless tobacco;
(2)
Herbal snuff is marketed in flavors that are similar to those of the leading moist smokeless tobacco brands;
(3)
Herbal snuff is not a tobacco product and therefore is not subject to tobacco taxes, advertising restrictions, or merchandising restrictions;
(4)
Even though herbal snuff is regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a food product and manufacturers are required to follow United States Food and Drug Administration guidelines, herbal snuff is intended to be an adult-oriented product;
(5)
Even though some companies have a strict and long-standing policy of not marketing to minors, children can legally purchase herbal snuff;
(6)
Children should not be emulating adult smokeless tobacco consumers and should not enter into the habit of dipping snuff;
(7)
Herbal snuff is used in adult tobacco cessation programs; and
(8)
Herbal snuff should be marketed only to adults to avoid any possibility of herbal snuff's being regarded as a gateway product for children.
