The Texas legislature passed the Texas Law in 1997 to limit minors’ access to these products and thereby prevent young people from a lifetime of addiction and possible disease and premature death.
The law holds retailers accountable for sales to minors and provides strict consequences for youth who are cited for using, purchasing or even possessing these products. If they’re under 18, it’s illegal for them to have these products whether dip or other forms of these products, and for anyone to provide it for them.

This Control Act focuses primarily on keeping tobacco and related products out of the hands of children (by law, defined as anyone under the age of 18 years old). These restrictions involve numerous regulatory and advertising standards, as well as strict laws regarding the advertising and promotion of cigarettes and other tobacco-containing products.
