This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to revise the definitions and regulations surrounding tobacco products, specifically addressing heated tobacco products. It updates the definition of "cigarette" in section 210.01 to explicitly exclude heated tobacco products, which are defined in a new subsection added to section 210.25. Additionally, the term "tobacco product" is revised in sections 210.095 and 569.002 to include heated tobacco products, and part II of chapter 210 is renamed to reflect this inclusion. The bill also makes conforming changes to ensure consistency across various sections of the law.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the language regarding tobacco products in several areas, including the definition of "tobacco product" in section 951.22 and the cross-references in section 569.31. The changes aim to clarify the legal status of heated tobacco products and ensure they are treated distinctly from traditional tobacco products like cigarettes and cigars. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
