Bill > HB1410

This bill establishes a comprehensive ban on the sale of flavored tobacco products in Indiana, effective July 1, 2025. The legislation defines a "flavored tobacco product" as any tobacco product or component part containing a constituent that produces a distinguishable taste or aroma other than tobacco, including flavors like fruit, chocolate, vanilla, menthol, and others. The bill prohibits selling, distributing, or offering for sale any flavored tobacco product to consumers, which includes traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and other nicotine-based products with characterizing flavors. Violations of this ban are classified as a Class C misdemeanor, and individuals or entities found selling flavored tobacco products may face legal penalties. Additionally, the bill empowers the alcohol and tobacco commission to investigate violations, impose civil penalties, and potentially suspend or revoke tobacco sales certificates for businesses that do not comply with the new regulations. The legislation aims to reduce youth access to flavored tobacco products by eliminating their sale across the state.
