South Carolina has not enacted a statewide ban on flavored tobacco or vapor products, and local flavor bans face preemption challenges under state tobacco law.
Unlike several states, South Carolina does not prohibit flavored cigarettes, cigars, or vapor products beyond federal restrictions on flavored cigarettes and FDA enforcement against unauthorized flavored e-cigarettes. The General Assembly retains primary authority over tobacco product regulation under Title 16, Chapter 17 and Title 12 licensing. Localities considering flavor restrictions may face preemption arguments under the comprehensive state framework. Federal law continues to ban most flavored cigarettes other than menthol and regulates electronic nicotine delivery systems through FDA premarket review.
Selling flavored products without federal authorization can trigger FDA warning letters, civil money penalties, and product seizures.
