Alabama does not impose a statewide flavored tobacco or vape flavor ban, instead focusing regulation on age limits and retail permits under Code Section 28-11-13.
Alabama law does not generally prohibit flavored cigarettes, cigars, or vape products beyond federal restrictions on flavored cigarettes. Code Section 28-11-13 emphasizes age verification and retail permitting rather than flavor bans. Federal Food and Drug Administration rules still restrict certain flavored cartridge-based vapor products and unauthorized flavored e-cigarettes lacking marketing orders. Localities have limited authority to restrict tobacco product sales, as state law largely controls retail tobacco regulation. Future legislation could change flavor policy.
Selling federally restricted flavored vape products can trigger FDA enforcement and Alabama permit penalties.
