Alabama expands Clean Indoor Air Act to include vaping devices
What happened
Gerald Allen sponsored Senate Bill 9 in Alabama, which was signed into law as Act 2026-505. The law expands Alabama’s Clean Indoor Air Act to include electronic nicotine delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaping devices. The updated restrictions prohibit vaping in enclosed public places, such as restaurants and hospitals, starting October 1, 2026.

Why it matters
The new state law treats vaping similarly to smoking tobacco products within covered public spaces. This regulatory change requires institutions and businesses to adjust their operational policies and compliance measures across the state.
Gerald Allen and Barbara Drummond previously co-promoted the Clean Indoor Air Act in the Senate.
