Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed SB 2024, a sweeping e-cigarette law set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The legislation:
- Bans disposal vapes manufactured in or containing parts made in China (or other U.S.–designated “foreign adversary” nations).
- Expands the definition of e-cigarettes to include devices simulating smoking, devices containing any consumable liquids—even without nicotine—and bans ultra-youth–targeted designs (e.g., candy-like, character-driven, toy-like).
- Raises penalties from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor for violations
🔍 So, What’s Still Legal?
✅ Refillable device systems manufactured outside China are permitted.
✅ E-liquids produced or filled in the U.S. or from non-adversary nations remain compliant.
✅ Devices without China-made components and free from youth-appealing designs can still be legally sold in Texas and other states.
