This bill amends various 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 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.

The bill also introduces a specific definition for "heated tobacco product," describing it as a tobacco product designed for use in an electronic device that heats tobacco without combustion, producing an inhalable aerosol. Other sections of the law are updated to ensure consistency with these changes, including cross-references and the definition of contraband in county detention facilities. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
