The sale, distribution, and consumption of e-cigarette products have sparked a growing conversation about how these products are being marketed and sold. The Texas Senate State Affairs Committee on Monday took up the issue, with lawmakers debating the danger of these items.
Senate Bill (SB) 1698, authored by Sen. Tan Parker (R-Flower Mound), seeks to create an “e-cigarette directory” where manufacturers must ensure their products are in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards and that “out-of-state manufacturers and importers” of e-cigarette products are in active compliance with Texas law.
