- On Monday, October 19, Pennsylvania will begin enforcing a law banning most unapproved electronic nicotine delivery systems, with Attorney General Dave Sunday announcing targeted inspections to seize non-compliant products.
- Gov. Josh Shapiro signed the legislation last year to restrict sales to 159 approved products from six manufacturers, which State Rep. Jeanne McNeill described as a tool to protect children.

- Spokesperson Brett Hambright stated the attorney general's office will provide education during inspections to ensure compliance, though some retailers worry customers will purchase products online or in New Jersey.
