Prohibit the sale of flavored vape products
LB 285 prohibits the sale of flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (vapes) in Nebraska, specifically banning products with non-tobacco or non-menthol tastes/smells distinguishable to consumers. It directly affects vape retailers and manufacturers by requiring them to stop selling these flavored products, with tobacco- and menthol-flavored vapes excluded from the ban. The bill defines "flavored vapor product" and imposes penalties including Class III misdemeanors and potential license revocation for violations. Enforcement applies to all retail sales, including online or delivery, under existing tobacco product regulations.
