SB 2 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, regulation of retail sale of certain tobacco products and electronic nicotine delivery systems, further provided

SB 2 revises Alabama's regulations for tobacco, e-cigarettes, and nicotine products under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. It expands the definition of "electronic nicotine delivery systems" to include battery-powered devices delivering non-tobacco substances via vapor, bans vending machine sales of these products, and requires retailers to pay one-time and annual fees. The bill also increases administrative penalties for violations, mandates warning signage at retail locations, and requires schools to adopt vaping prevention programs for K-12 students. These changes directly affect tobacco retailers, e-liquid manufacturers, and public schools, with new fees and penalties funding a Tobacco Licensing and Compliance Fund.
