FRANKFORT, Ky. (WMDJ) – Beginning January 1st, a significant vaping law will also impact Kentucky, limiting the number of products sold legally.

House Bill 11 aims to curb youth vaping by restricting retailers to selling only vape products authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or those with “safe harbor” certification. As of December, fewer than 40 of over a million vape product applications nationwide had received FDA approval.

The law also enforces stricter penalties for selling to those under 21, with repeat offenders facing the loss of vape sales licenses for up to a year.
