Hawaii SB972 prohibits the sale of flavored nicotine products and mislabeling of nicotine-containing e-liquids as nicotine-free.
Hawaii SB972 aims to combat the public health crisis caused by flavored nicotine products by prohibiting their sale and mislabeling. The bill defines "flavored nicotine product" as any nicotine product with a taste or smell other than tobacco, including fruit, menthol, and candy flavors. Retailers found in violation of these provisions face fines and potential seizure of contraband products. The bill also establishes positions for program specialists and a hearings officer to enforce these regulations. Counties are allowed to impose stricter restrictions on flavored nicotine products.
