Ban sale of electronic cigarettes without FDA approval
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.
