Arkansas Lawmakers Propose Ban on Disposable E-Cigarettes
Arkansas lawmakers propose bill to ban disposable e-cigarettes after tests reveal lead and nicotine discrepancies, targeting youth market.

According to a report from KATV on February 26th, Arkansas state representative Matt Duffield and senator Missy Irvin are proposing a bill to ban disposable e-cigarettes.


Daffield and Owen will release the draft of the bill on Thursday (the 27th) and discuss the test results for disposable e-cigarettes.


This bill was proposed after multiple witnesses reported inconsistencies with these disposable e-cigarettes. Some small e-cigarette shops in Arkansas purchased and tested several top brands of e-cigarettes, and the results showed that all e-cigarettes contained lead and ethanol, and the nicotine content labels were incorrect, with the actual content being twice as much as indicated.


A spokesperson pointed out that the open system industry has been under attack for years, despite its products being sold freely in gas stations and convenience stores without regulation. A school investigation found that 100% of confiscated e-cigarettes were disposable e-cigarettes. While not explicitly marketed to children, the new e-cigarettes even include displays with bundled video games.
