2025SB 287

Placing New Burdens on the Vaping Industry

2025 - South Carolina Senate

Conservatives Oppose

Description

SB 287 would direct the government to create a directory of approved vaping products that can be sold in South Carolina, and it would place additional advertising restrictions on vaping manufacturers and sellers. CPAC believes that this bill will drive up prices by favoring larger manufacturers that can comply with these new requirements, burdening Americans who use vaping as an alternative to cigarettes. For that reason, CPAC opposes this bill. The South Carolina Senate passed SB 287 on March 19, 2025, in a 38-2 vote, but the House did not act on the measure before the end of the 2025 legislative session.
