TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF HEALTH RISKS CAUSED BY VAPOR PRODUCTS AND E-LIQUID PRODUCTS; AND TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ARKANSAS YOUTH.

SB 252 requires retailers to include clear health risk warnings about vapor and e-liquid products on product packaging and in advertising, directly affecting businesses selling these items in Arkansas. The bill defines "vapor product" and "e-liquid" while excluding certain refillable nicotine solutions and devices, ensuring the requirements apply only to specific products. It increases penalties for noncompliance from $250 to $500 per violation and sets a November 1, 2025 effective date. The law aims to inform consumers, particularly youth, about health risks without restricting product access or sales.
