Ban sale of electronic cigarettes without FDA approval

Police & Community SafetyGovernance

In Plain English

The city currently allows retailers to sell all types of electronic cigarettes and vaping products. This law would require that e-cigarettes have FDA premarket approval before stores can sell them. Most vaping products currently sold lack this federal approval and would become illegal to sell in Richmond.
