Cigarette. The term "cigarette" means any roll for smoking made wholly or in part of tobacco or any other substance, irrespective of size or shape and whether or not such tobacco or substance is flavored, adulterated or mixed with any other ingredient, the wrapper or cover of which is made of paper or any other substance or material but is not made in whole or in part of tobacco.

A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the manufacturer of an electronic cigarette, or by any person authorized or permitted by the manufacturer to make or disseminate public statements concerning such electronic cigarette, that such electronic cigarette has or produces a characterizing flavor shall constitute presumptive evidence that such electronic cigarette is a flavored electronic cigarette.
Flavored e-liquid. The term "flavored e-liquid" means any e-liquid that imparts a characterizing flavor. A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the manufacturer of an e-liquid, or by any person authorized or permitted by the manufacturer to make or disseminate public statements concerning such e-liquid, that such e-liquid has or produces a characterizing flavor shall constitute presumptive evidence that such e-liquid is a flavored e-liquid.
Flavored tobacco product. The term "flavored tobacco product" means any tobacco product that imparts a characterizing flavor other than menthol, mint and wintergreen. A public statement or claim made or disseminated by the manufacturer of a tobacco product, or by any person authorized or permitted by the manufacturer to make or disseminate public statements concerning such tobacco product, that such tobacco product has or produces a characterizing flavor, other than menthol, mint and wintergreen, shall constitute presumptive evidence that the tobacco product is a flavored tobacco product.
Person. The term "person" means any natural person, partnership, firm, joint stock company, corporation, or employee thereof, or other legal entity.
Tobacco bar. The term "tobacco bar" has the meaning as such term is defined in subdivision jj of section 17-502.
Tobacco product. The term "tobacco product" means any product which contains tobacco that is intended for human consumption, including any component, part, or accessory of such product. Tobacco product shall include, but not be limited to, any cigar, little cigar, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, snus, bidi, snuff, tobacco-containing shisha, or dissolvable tobacco product.
