(Harrisburg, PA) Selling vapes and e-cigarettes that are prohibited in Pennsylvania will warrant prosecution after October 19th, which is when the Attorney General’s office can start enforcing the law against the products that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday advised merchants who are selling the electronic nicotine delivery systems, or ENDS, to review the list of approved products in the state of Pennsylvania.

This enforcement is occurring because Act 57, which was a bipartisan state law signed in 2025, prohibits sales of electronic nicotine devices in Pennsylvania that are not on the state’s ENDS directory.
