Vaping in Mississippi has changed per a new state law that “bans products that are not manufactured by the current FDA-authorized e-cigarette manufacturers.”
Shop owners are largely unhappy as they are both losing products and losing the ability to serve their customers.
A 60-day grace period began in October and enforcement began on December 1.
The new law requires a registry of all vape products sold in the state.
State leaders hope this upcoming ban will prevent anyone underage from having access to the products.
