The Stance on Vaping: U.S. Laws State by State

In a world increasingly attuned to health and wellbeing, alternative smoking methods such as vaping continue to gain traction. Yet, this phenomenon is not without its controversy and regulatory challenges. Vaping laws vary considerably across the United States, with different states upholding distinct stances on how vaping products are bought and sold, including packaging requirements, prescribed taxes, minimum age limits, and licensing rules. Key findings from the data include:

  • The country is divided over vaping regulations. While some states have embraced vaping laws (like Rhode Island, Colorado, Vermont, Illinois, and California among others), many states (like Missouri, Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Arizona, to name a few) currently hold no such legal stance.
  • There is a clear geographical discrepancy in the data. Many northern states like Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire have implemented vaping laws, whereas several southern states such as Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana report no specific vaping laws.
  • Among the states with vaping laws, the themes within the laws vary widely, with some focusing more on packaging, others on minimum age restrictions or licensing requirements.
  • Despite the federal ruling raising the minimum age for buying tobacco products (including vapes) to 21, the compliance varies from state to state.
