Senate Bill 975 will tax electronic smoking devices and e-liquids, similar to tobacco products, and restrict shipping to wholesalers and retailers, meaning they can no longer be shipped directly to individuals. The measure was approved by the state Legislature earlier this month and awaits Gov. Josh Green’s signature.
