According to a report from Newsbreak on January 2nd, a new regulation on e-cigarette use in the state of Kentucky, USA, has officially taken effect starting today. The legislation, known as the Senate Bill 11 passed in April, aims to curb the use of e-cigarettes among young people in the state. Currently, retailers in Kentucky are only allowed to sell specific e-cigarette products.
Some retailers have stated that they are facing major challenges due to the fact that the 11th bill only allows the sale of e-cigarette products approved by the US FDA.
Ali Mazab, the owner of Kings Vape and Tobacco, stated that due to the implementation of the law, he had to remove about 80% of his inventory and was forced to choose stock from a limited list of e-cigarette options.
Mazabu is planning to seek new ways of doing business,
This will not stop us. We will continue to fight.
A new study by The Freedom Center reveals that Kentucky is the seventh highest state in the United States for teenage e-cigarette usage.
On April 5, 2024, Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky officially signed the 11th bill, making the state the sixth to implement the PMTA registration law. The law will prohibit the sale of e-cigarette products not authorized by the FDA for marketing. The regulation will go into effect on January 1, 2025.
