New Alabama vape law bans flavored e-cigarettes in stores
A new law in Alabama, effective June 1, will change how retailers sell vape products, banning flavored e-cigarettes in convenience stores. It introduces two permits: the ABC Tobacco Permit for traditional tobacco and approved e-nicotine products, and the ABC Specialty Permit for vape-focused stores. Only FDA-approved tobacco and mint e-cigarettes can be sold in convenience stores, with fruit and candy flavors restricted to specialty shops. Aimed at curbing youth vaping, the law impacts retailer revenue with fines for violations. The industry braces for financial strain, while health advocates support the move to protect youth from vaping risks.
