Key Terms
E-Cigarette
"Electronic cigarette" means a product that can be used for consumption of nicotine-containing vapor via a mouthpiece, or any component of that product, including a cartridge, a tank and a device without cartridge or tank. Electronic cigarettes can be disposable or refillable by using a refill container and a tank, or rechargeable with single use cartridges.
Smoking
"Smoking" refers to the lighting, inhalation, or holding of any tobacco product, including electronic cigarettes and water pipes (hookahs).
“Smoking” includes holding e-cigarettes. Therefore, the use of e-cigarettes is considered smoking.
Novel Tobacco Products
The definition of “novel tobacco products” is significant because such products include e-cigarettes and, therefore, are subject to disclosure requirements.
