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.

Cliff Notes began as short plot summaries of classic novels and stories. Now they are cribs about complex topics and spin. Corps Speak is the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) clever spin that evades responsibility for higher and longer Mississippi River floods (a complex topic).
This story began when Congress put the Corps in charge of flood control (1928 Flood Control Act) to prevent another 1927 flood disaster.
