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, which are defined as products containing tobacco designed for use in electronic devices that produce an inhalable aerosol without combustion. Additionally, the definition of "tobacco products" is expanded to include heated tobacco products in various sections, including those related to mail order and remote sales, as well as in the context of county detention facilities.
Furthermore, the bill renames part II of chapter 210 to reflect the inclusion of heated tobacco products, ensuring that the legal language is consistent across the statutes. The amendments also involve conforming cross-references and updating definitions to maintain clarity and coherence in the law. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
