New Laws for Vaping 2020

The FDA has the federal authority to regulate vaping products. In September 2020, the agency began reviewing pre-market tobacco applications (MTADs) and signaled that it would not allow flavoured products without exceptional evidence. Whether the agency will succeed in creating an unwritten standard that eliminates legal flavored products (other than tobacco and menthol) can be decided by federal courts.

Pro-vaping groups argue that e-cigarettes can help adults quit the dangerous habit of smoking. Interesting! I`m glad vaping is allowed, but what do the laws say? New York – Taste ban + online sales ban The New York taste ban, which covers all flavors except tobacco, was passed in April 2020.

After the government decided to address this growing problem, it also wanted to change the way vaping products were packaged. Several States have already set up a packaging system for these products to warn of the danger they may pose to those who use them. They are also there to remind the buyer that children cannot use the products. Some states require stores to be allowed to sell vaping products. This is because they require professionals to handle and sell all the vaping products that are on the market. It is also a way to know who is authorized to process vaping products and who is not.

Several states have passed laws requiring convenience stores to have licenses or permits to sell these products. In fact, as of December 2019, 29 states had passed this law, making it a requirement. This law means that with their license or permit, they can sell, refill and distribute liqiud, vape pens, vaping cartriges and e-cigarettes. The amendment includes additional legislation to protect youth from the long-term health effects associated with the use of vapers and other smokeless tobacco products. These include extending the age verification requirements of the PACT Act to these devices and properly marking the packaging that contains them.

They shall ensure that each packaged product has the necessary precautions to prevent children from accessing it, such as: include the risk of using the product, remind the buyer that the product is not intended for children, ensure that all closures on the products are securely fastened and that all products are packaged in a safe and airtight manner. “Like almost the entire industry, we believe synthetic nicotine is a positive innovation that improves consumer choice and provides a crucial way for cigarette smokers to switch to vaping,” said Amanda Wheeler, president of Prescott, Arizona-based American Vapor Manufacturers, representing companies that make vaping devices and e-liquids.
