Texas Bans E-Cigarette Designs Targeting Children.
Texas Governor signs bill banning e-cigarette packaging that appeals to minors. Effective from January 1, 2024.

Recently, it has been reported by the Texas state legislature that the Governor of Texas has signed into law the HB4758 bill, which will prohibit e-cigarette designs that depict cartoon characters or imitate logos or packaging of products primarily marketed to minors, include symbols or celebrity images used to appeal to minors, and packaging that resembles food such as candy or juice.

 

The objective of this bill is to protect minors from the allure and potential risks of e-cigarettes. Prior research has shown that cartoon imagery and food-like packaging may pique the interest of minors and falsely lead them to believe that these products are harmless. The aim is to decrease minors' exposure to and use of e-cigarettes in order to safeguard public health.

 

The legislation is viewed as an important step towards addressing the growing trend of e-cigarette usage among adolescents and safeguarding the health and wellbeing of this population group. The law will come into effect on January 1, 2024.
