Pennsylvania will ban the sale of most disposable vaporizers, vape juice, and electronic cigarette products starting October 19 under a new law signed by Gov. Josh Shapiro. Only six manufacturers are approved to sell nicotine vape products: Blue Nine, Custom Technologies, Juul Labs, NJoy, R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co., and Schwartz E-Liquid. Approved products include Juul, NJoy Ace, Vuse Alto, CrossBar disposable vapes, and Naked 100 vape juice. The law affects over 10,000 businesses, with vape products accounting for 25% to 75% of store revenue. Enforcement begins with inspections by Attorney General Dave Sunday's office, and violations carry fines starting at $500 per product, escalating to license suspensions or revocations for repeat offenses. Retailers must dispose of banned inventory by October 18 or face seizure and fines.
