The city’s legislature has approved new regulations governing the sale and use of vaping products. The new rules prohibit the sale and distribution of vapes, e-cigarettes, heated tobacco devices, and nicotine pouches to individuals under the age of 18. Additionally, the use of these products is now banned in enclosed public spaces. The legislation aims to protect young people from nicotine addiction and reduce exposure to secondhand aerosols. These restrictions align vaping regulations with those already in place for traditional cigarettes. Enforcement details and potential penalties for violations have not yet been fully outlined. The new laws are expected to take effect shortly following official publication.
