New Virginia E-Cigarette Law

Starting December 31, 2025, a new law is taking effect in Virginia banning sales of unapproved e-cigarette products, requiring state directory listing (FDA-authorized), prohibiting use in many public spaces, schools, and parks where smoking is banned. Key rules include age 21+ for purchase/possession, child-resistant liquid containers, and restrictions on sales/delivery, though active duty military can still buy at 18+ with ID.

This new law will force vape & tobacco shop owners to take down any products that are not part of a new state "directory." This applies to all liquid and vapor nicotine products. To stay in compliance suppliers have had to apply to the state's attorney general for certification, and if approved, their products would be placed on the directory.

Vape shop owners will have 60 days to go through their inventory and remove any products not found on the directory. Violators could be subject to a $1,000 fine for each unapproved product they have, for each day they have it. Currently, some popular brands approved for selling include Juul, NJOY, and Logic.
