Vaping Regulations per State

Vaping Regulations per State (so far)

If you're looking for the regulations for YOUR state, this is a great resource for just that! The Public Health Law Center released a snapshot pdf (that's 87 pages LONG) of each state's vaping regulations. Per FDA regulations, no sale to minors (which is great, and something ZampleBox totally supports, and is committed to not selling to minors), but in each state, the rules are a little different. Some states have banned the online purchase of tobacco products, which, per the FDA's deeming rules, includes vapor products. Check out the list below for all current American vaping regulations, arranged alphabetically by state.. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!
