Bill > SB472

This bill creates a new law in Arkansas that prohibits individuals under 21 years of age from purchasing or possessing e-liquid products or vapor products, with a specific exception for active members of the United States Armed Forces. The bill provides detailed definitions for key terms, including "e-liquid product" (a liquid that can be inhaled and may contain nicotine) and "vapor product" (an electronic device that simulates smoking by delivering nicotine or other substances). If a minor is found in possession of such products, law enforcement officers are required to seize and destroy the item, and the minor can be punished by a fine up to $100 or up to 20 hours of community service, or both. The legislation aims to restrict access to vaping and e-cigarette products for younger individuals, reflecting growing concerns about youth nicotine use and potential health risks associated with these products.
