Relating to a prohibition on e-cigarette advertising in certain locations.

HB 2735 bans e-cigarette advertising within 1,000 feet of schools or churches in Texas, directly affecting businesses that sell or advertise e-cigarettes. The bill requires new ads to maintain this minimum distance, with an exception for existing signs placed before September 1, 1997 (which only needed to be 500 feet away). It amends the Health and Safety Code to establish this buffer zone, applying to all cigarette, e-cigarette, and tobacco product advertisements. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
