Mississippi has not enacted a statewide flavored tobacco or menthol ban, and Jackson has not adopted one either. Federal FDA action drives most flavor restrictions through the Premarket Tobacco Product Application regime rather than local ordinances.
Unlike Massachusetts or California, Mississippi has not banned the sale of menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, or flavored e-liquids, and Jackson has no separate ordinance. The federal FDA has restricted certain flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes since 2020 and continues to enforce premarket authorization against flavored disposables, but synthetic-nicotine and tobacco-derived menthol products remain widely sold. Jackson's authority to adopt a flavor ban is constrained by state-level regulation of tobacco sales: a local ordinance imposing a complete sale ban on a state-permitted product would face preemption challenges similar to those litigated in other states. Statewide flavor restrictions remain a Mississippi Legislature decision in Jackson at the Capitol.
Federal FDA enforcement, including warning letters, civil money penalties, and product seizures for unauthorized flavored vape sales, plus state tobacco permit consequences for repeat violators.
