Nebraska proposal would require child safety features on covered vaping devices

Nebraska sellers would not sell, offer to sell, or distribute covered devices for retail sale or promotion without a child safety feature. The rule would cover devices that simulate smoking by delivering inhaled nicotine, nicotine-like substances called nicotine analogues, tobacco, or tobacco-derived substances. Interstate transportation and storage in warehouses or distribution centers would be exempt. A violation would be a Class IV misdemeanor, a criminal offense. The proposal does not define the required child safety feature. The restriction would apply to devices manufactured on or after the act’s effective date. The proposal does not state that date.
