A new Kentucky state law, Senate Bill 100, requires tobacco, nicotine, and vape retailers to obtain a license to legally sell their products. The law was passed to combat the illegal sale of smoking products to minors. Hundreds of retailers are expected to miss the January 1, 2026, application deadline, potentially facing penalties for operating without the required license. The Murray Ledger and Times reports on this upcoming change and encourages retailers to comply with the new regulations.
