The bill, S.B. No. 1314, proposes an amendment to the Health and Safety Code regarding the definition of "e-cigarette product." The current definition is modified to include any substance intended for use in an e-cigarette, regardless of whether it contains nicotine. This change removes the previous stipulation that the substance must contain nicotine from any source.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, thereby expanding the scope of what constitutes an e-cigarette product and potentially regulating a broader range of vaping products. This legislative change aims to address public health concerns related to e-cigarette usage.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Health and Safety Code 161.0876 (Health and Safety Code 161)
