LD754

Maine LD754 bans the sale, use, and possession of single-use electronic cigarettes and reviews extended producer responsibility for batteries.

Maine LD754 prohibits the sale, use, and possession of single-use electronic nicotine delivery devices, including electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookahs, and vape pens. Violators face fines of $500 for the first offense and $5,000 for subsequent offenses. The bill also mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to convene a stakeholder group to assess the feasibility of implementing an extended producer responsibility approach for all batteries not currently covered by such requirements, including those used in electronic nicotine delivery devices.
