This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to update the definitions and classifications of tobacco products, specifically incorporating heated tobacco products into the legal framework. The term "cigarette" is revised to explicitly exclude heated tobacco products, while the definition of "tobacco products" is expanded to include heated tobacco products as well. Additionally, a new definition for "heated tobacco product" is introduced, describing it as a product that generates an inhalable aerosol by heating tobacco without combustion. The bill also renames part II of chapter 210 to reflect the inclusion of heated tobacco products alongside other tobacco products.

Furthermore, the bill makes conforming changes to various sections, including the definitions of tobacco products in different contexts, such as mail order sales and county detention facilities. It ensures that heated tobacco products are recognized in the same legal category as other tobacco products, thereby regulating their sale and distribution. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
