SB 1843, the "Nitrous Oxide Abuse Prevention and Retail Sale Prohibition Act," bans vape shop retailers from selling nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) in Tennessee. The bill specifically prohibits vape shops - defined as businesses selling electronic smoking devices or related products - from offering nitrous oxide for retail sale, with penalties starting at $500 per violation for first offenses and escalating to license suspension or revocation for repeat violations. Manufacturers who facilitate these sales face $10,000 fines per product. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, directly affecting vape shop operators and their compliance with retail sales restrictions.
