Plano FAQ
Why does Plano not ban flavored vape?
City Council has not pursued a local flavor ban. Texas leaves the choice to cities, but Plano has prioritized state age 21 enforcement over a separate flavor restriction.
Can the FDA still pull flavored products?
Yes. The FDA continues to issue marketing denial orders for flavored e-cigarette products that lack premarket authorization, which can remove specific flavors from Plano shelves nationwide.
