Senate Bill 2293 and House Bill 2359 propose amendments to various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning vapor products. The bill redefines "consumable material" to specifically refer to liquid nicotine solutions, whether natural or synthetic, intended for use in vapor products. Additionally, it clarifies the definition of "vapor product" to include noncombustible items that utilize a mechanical heating element to produce vapor, while explicitly excluding products regulated under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the penalties associated with violations related to vapor products by specifying that fines will be issued by the alcoholic beverage commission, rather than being a general fine. This legislation aims to provide clearer definitions and regulatory measures for vapor products in Tennessee, enhancing the state's ability to manage and oversee their use and distribution. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
