Analysis

In 2023, the definition of “tobacco product” in the Tobacco Control Act was amended to cover tobacco products that are “inhaled” and to specifically include “electronic tobacco heating devices” along with other tobacco accessories. As a result, the provisions of the Tobacco Control Act apply to HTP inserts and devices.
