§ 21-1220.1. Prohibition of alcohol inhalation device.

It is unlawful for any person to buy, sell, furnish, manufacture or possess any alcohol inhalation device, alcohol infuser or any other device capable of causing a blood or breath alcohol concentration in the human body by means of fumes, vapors, gases, air particles or matter inhaled directly into the central nervous system by mouth or nasal passages.  Any person convicted of any violation of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).  The Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission is prohibited from licensing any establishment for consumption of alcohol from such prohibited devices, and shall permanently revoke any license issued to any person convicted of any violation of this section.  Provided, however, that any inhalation device which may contain alcohol and is intended or used for medicinal purposes, whether it is available for over-the-counter or by prescription purchase, shall be exempt from these provisions.
