Tennessee does not impose a statewide flavor ban on tobacco or vape products, and local flavor bans are generally preempted by uniform state licensing under Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 15.
Tennessee has not enacted a statewide ban on menthol cigarettes or flavored vape products. Tobacco regulation under T.C.A. 39-17-1504 establishes uniform statewide standards governing sales, signage, and age verification. Cities and counties have limited authority to impose product-specific bans because tobacco distribution and licensing are heavily regulated at the state level. Federal Food and Drug Administration rules separately restrict certain flavored cartridge products, but state law continues to permit other flavored products consistent with federal standards.
Retailers selling restricted FDA-prohibited flavored cartridges may face federal enforcement; state penalties focus on age and licensing violations rather than flavor.
