This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to update the definitions and regulations surrounding tobacco products, specifically focusing on heated tobacco products. It revises the definition of "cigarette" in section 210.01 to explicitly exclude heated tobacco products, and it updates the definition of "tobacco product" in section 210.095 to include heated tobacco products. Additionally, part II of chapter 210 is renamed to reflect the inclusion of heated tobacco products, and a new definition for "heated tobacco product" is introduced in section 210.25, describing it as a product that produces an inhalable aerosol by heating tobacco without combustion.

Further amendments include updates to the definitions of tobacco products in sections 569.002 and 951.22, ensuring consistency across the statutes. The bill also reenacts a subsection in section 569.31 to incorporate the changes made to the definition of tobacco products. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to clarify the legal status of heated tobacco products within Florida's tobacco regulations.
