Relating to the regulation of cigarettes and tobacco products, including the definitions of cigarettes and tobacco products.

HB 5024 amends Texas law to clarify definitions for cigarettes and tobacco products under the Health and Safety Code. It defines a "cigarette" to include any product resembling traditional cigarettes (e.g., hemp or herb wraps) and specifies that "tobacco product" covers items containing nicotine - natural or synthetic - intended for human consumption. The bill exempts FDA-approved nicotine addiction treatments (like gum or patches) from these definitions, as they must display "Drug Facts" labels. This redefinition aims to align Texas regulations with federal standards and clarify which products fall under tobacco control laws. The bill is currently in committee referral.
