Pennsylvania does not currently impose a statewide ban on flavored tobacco or menthol cigarettes, though federal FDA marketing rules restrict which flavored vape products and cigarettes can be lawfully sold.
As of this writing, the Pennsylvania General Assembly has not enacted a statewide ban on flavored tobacco products, menthol cigarettes, or flavored e-cigarettes. Various proposals (such as bills filed in recent legislative sessions) have been introduced but not passed. Federal law administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prohibits characterizing flavors other than menthol or tobacco in cigarettes and requires premarket authorization for vapor products, which has effectively limited the legal market for many flavored e-liquids. Local Pennsylvania municipalities have generally not adopted flavor bans because preemptive language in the Tobacco Products Tax framework leaves taxation to the state, though zoning-based limits at the local level remain possible.
Selling unauthorized flavored vapor products may violate federal FDA marketing rules and trigger seizure or civil penalties.
