Hawaii has no statewide ban on flavored tobacco or vape products, but the City and County of Honolulu and other county governments have considered or adopted local restrictions, leaving a regulatory patchwork across the islands.
Although bills to ban flavored tobacco and e-liquid have repeatedly been introduced at the legislature, no statewide flavor ban has been enacted as of 2026. HRS 712-1258 and HRS Chapter 245 govern sales without restricting flavors at the state level. The City and County of Honolulu has considered ROH amendments addressing flavored vape sales, and the Department of Health has supported flavor restrictions through rulemaking. Because Hawaii does not preempt local tobacco regulation, individual counties may impose more stringent rules. Federal FDA enforcement against unauthorized flavored vape products applies in Hawaii alongside state and county rules.
County flavor ordinance violations carry local fines; state-law violations follow HRS 245 retailer penalties.
