To make any business/individual either selling and/or giving any E-Cigarette (vape or cartridge) to anyone under the age of 18 a misdemeanor.

HB 2020 prohibits anyone from selling, giving, or furnishing e-cigarettes, vapes, or vape cartridges to individuals under 18 years old. This law directly affects businesses (like vape shops or convenience stores) and employees who sell these products to minors, as well as individuals who give them to minors. Violators face misdemeanor charges with fines starting at $50 for a first offense, increasing to up to $5,000 for repeat violations within specific timeframes. The bill focuses exclusively on e-cigarette products (defined as "vapor products" or "electronic smoking devices") and does not apply to FDA-approved nicotine products. It amends West Virginia law to strengthen penalties for selling these items to minors.
