Tobacco, Tobacco Products - As introduced, regulates retail vapor product stores and makes various changes to provisions regarding youth access to tobacco, smoking hemp, and vapor products. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 15 and Title 43, Chapter 27, Part 2.

SB 562 regulates the sale of vapor products in Tennessee to restrict youth access. It creates a new definition for "retail vapor product store" (only accessible to those 21+), bans most vapor product sales outside these stores (with exceptions for hemp-derived products and unflavored cartridges), and requires age verification at entry and point-of-sale. The bill also mandates specific signage stating that persons under 21 cannot enter or purchase these products, and restricts vending machine sales to locations with age access controls. These provisions directly affect retailers selling vapor products, including convenience stores and dedicated vape shops, and aim to enforce age restrictions through clear operational requirements.
