This bill aims to regulate electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) by prohibiting the sale and certification of flavored vapor products in Nebraska. It amends several sections of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, including definitions related to alternative nicotine products and electronic nicotine delivery systems. Notably, the bill introduces a new definition for "flavored vapor product," which includes any ENDS that has a distinguishable taste or smell other than tobacco or menthol, and it prohibits licensed sellers from marketing or selling these flavored products.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations, including the potential revocation of licenses for businesses that sell to individuals under the age of twenty-one. It harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original sections that are being amended. The bill emphasizes the importance of regulating flavored vapor products to protect public health, particularly among youth, by restricting access to these enticing products.
