Tennessee Vape Ban Aims to Destroy Small Businesses and Boost Cigarette Sales
Surely, lawmakers in Tennessee do not want to increase cigarette sales and destroy jobs. But their proposed vape ban, HB 0968, does exactly that. Studies have shown how vape flavor bans and vaping restrictions increase cigarette sales.Â
It is up to you, as business owners, employers and the backbone of the economy, to show how punitive laws like HB 0968 destroy livelihoods and lives.Â

What is Wrong With HB 0968?
Everything is wrong with HB 0968. It is a deceitful and damaging piece of legislation backed by the tobacco industry to increase their sales at the expense of adult consumers and business owners.Â
The future of vaping in Tennessee is on the line. If we don’t fight back now, we could lose access to products embraced by adult nicotine consumers and force them into the arms of Big Tobacco.
PMTA Registry laws enforce failed federal regulations that are on life support and being questioned at the Supreme Court. They represent pure regulatory capture and embody all that can go wrong when special interest groups and corruption dictate policy.Â
HB 0968 not only enforces these failed regulations on adult tax payers but asks us all to foot the bill for enforcement, up to and including the seizure of property.Â
Say NO to HB 0968!
