Newsom signs California law banning sales of single-use, battery-powered vapes
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law on Monday banning the sale of single-use, battery-powered vapes as part of efforts to combat plastic pollution. The law prohibits the manufacture, import, and retail sale of disposable e-cigarettes starting January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2028, respectively. Violators face fines ranging from $500 to $2,000. The measure aims to prevent disposable vapes, often containing tobacco, from ending up in landfills and causing environmental harm or fire hazards.
