ARKANSAS (KNWA/KFTA) — Starting Sept. 1, a new Arkansas law will place tighter limits on what kinds of vape and tobacco products can be sold in stores and how they can be advertised.
Act 590 bans the sale of disposable vapes with nicotine unless they are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), waiting for FDA review or tied up in an appeal. The state’s Tobacco Control agency will make a public list of allowed products by Nov. 1, according to the bill.
Stores that sell products not on the list could face fines, lose their permits or have items taken away.
