What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Pennsylvania is enforcing a law, ACT 57, that prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes not explicitly approved by the state. This means many popular vaping products will be removed from shelves starting October 19. Currently, only six manufacturers of electronic nicotine delivery systems are on the approved list. Retailers violating the law face escalating fines and potential license revocation.
