Arizona has no statewide ban on flavored tobacco or menthol products, and Maricopa County imposes none. Retailers may legally sell menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, and flavored e-liquids subject to FDA Premarket Tobacco Application authorization.
Unlike California or Massachusetts, Arizona has not enacted a flavor ban, and ARS section 36-798.03 covers age, signage, and packaging but is silent on flavors. Maricopa County has not adopted a county flavor ordinance. Senate Bill 1009 in 2020 added a partial preemption of new local tobacco-product regulation, leaving counties limited room to restrict specific flavors. Retailers across the county may sell menthol, mint, fruit, and dessert e-liquids and flavored cigars provided the products carry FDA PMTA authorization or fall within the FDA enforcement-discretion window. Federal flavored-cigarette rules under the 2009 Tobacco Control Act still bar characterizing flavors other than menthol in cigarettes.
Selling adulterated or non-PMTA flavored vape products violates federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act provisions; state penalties under ARS section 36-798.03 hinge on youth-access compliance rather than flavor content.
