The bill amends Section 44-20-61 of the General Laws in Chapter 44-20, which pertains to the taxation of cigarettes and other tobacco products. It introduces a definition for "vape shop," which is defined as any premises dedicated to the display, sale, distribution, delivery, offering, furnishing, or marketing of nicotine-delivery system products, liquid nicotine, liquid nicotine containers, or vapor products.

The key provision of the bill prohibits the sale or possession with intent to sell electronic nicotine-delivery system products, except at a vape shop. Additionally, compassion centers and licensed cultivators are exempt from this prohibition, but only for products that do not contain tobacco or nicotine. This act is set to take effect upon passage.
