This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to update the definitions and classifications of tobacco products, specifically incorporating heated tobacco products into existing laws. 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 defined in a new section. Additionally, part II of chapter 210 is renamed to reflect the inclusion of heated tobacco products alongside other tobacco products. A new definition for "heated tobacco product" is introduced, describing it as a product designed for use in an electronic device that produces an inhalable aerosol without combustion.

The bill also makes conforming changes to various sections, including the definitions of tobacco products in other statutes, ensuring consistency across the legal framework. For instance, the definition of tobacco products in section 569.002 is updated to include heated tobacco products, and references to tobacco products in detention facility regulations are aligned with the new definitions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
