Bill > LB688

This bill proposes to prohibit advertising of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in the State of Nebraska. The bill first defines "electronic nicotine delivery system" by referencing an existing definition in section 28-1418.01 of Nebraska law (though the specific definition is not provided in this text). It then establishes that it is unlawful for any person to advertise ENDS within the state. Electronic nicotine delivery systems typically refer to battery-operated devices that heat a liquid to produce an aerosol that users inhale, which often contains nicotine, and are commonly known as e-cigarettes, vapes, or electronic cigarettes. The bill appears to be aimed at reducing the visibility and potential appeal of these products, likely as a public health measure to discourage their use, particularly among youth. By prohibiting advertising, the legislation seeks to limit the marketing and potential promotion of these nicotine delivery devices across the state.
