Hawaii HB1116 prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco products and mislabeling of nicotine-free e-liquids.

Hawaii HB1116 aims to address the youth vaping epidemic by prohibiting the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including those with menthol and cooling sensations. The bill also bans the mislabeling of e-liquid products as nicotine-free if they contain nicotine. These restrictions are set to take effect on July 1, 2026. The Department of Health is tasked with adopting interim rules to enforce these provisions, which will remain in effect until January 1, 2032, or until permanent rules are adopted. The bill also allocates funds for staffing to carry out these purposes.
