Several states have now passed or are considering passing e-cigarette registry laws. The Center has published a commentary post and hosted two webinars (National Updates on E-Cigarette Registry Laws and Implications for Public Health and E-Registry Bills and their Implications for Public Health) discussing these laws in more depth but, generally, most laws set up state-run directories that contain a list of e-cigarette products that can legally be sold in the state. To make it onto the state registry, a manufacturer certifies that they have submitted a premarket tobacco product application to the FDA and that the product has either been authorized by the FDA or that it remains under FDA review.

The Public Health Law Center, in collaboration with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, has put together this interactive map showing those states that either have adopted a registry law or have had legislation recently introduced. Click on a state to see links that will take you to that state’s registry law or the proposed legislation. If you have information about new developments for registry laws, please contact the center at publichealthlawcenter@mitchellhamline.edu.
