Nebraska Implements E-Cigarette Regulations to Protect Children and Consumers
Nebraska implements new e-cigarette regulations to protect children and consumers; bans ads targeting kids and harmful chemicals.

According to a report by 1011 Now on July 20th, Nebraska is in the process of passing an e-cigarette regulation. The law will go into effect on Friday.


The regulation prohibits advertising targeted at children, including e-cigarettes with cartoon characters or that resemble school supplies.


Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers stated,


During my travels across the state and meetings with law enforcement agencies, I always ask, "What is the biggest issue you are seeing?" One of the top five issues I have seen and heard throughout the state is e-cigarettes falling into the hands of children.


Another part of the regulation aims to protect consumers from potential harmful chemicals. The law will establish a registration system through the tax bureau, where companies must pay $75 for each type or model of e-cigarette device to enter the registry. Selling any product not on the list will be illegal by October 2025.
