Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday has voiced his support for House Bill 1425, a measure that recently advanced through the PA House. The legislation, sponsored by Representative Jeanne McNeill, would establish a state directory for electronic nicotine devices, or vapes, similar to the existing system for cigarettes.

The bill would require vapor product manufacturers to certify annually that they have received marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be legally sold in the state. AG Sunday praised the bill, highlighting the threat posed by "unregulated devices reaching the Commonwealth from overseas... flavored and packaged to entice young people," often with no disclosures about potential dangers.
