Turning Up the Heat: South Dakota’s Flavored Vape Ban Threat
The fight to protect flavored vaping products is heating up in South Dakota, and we need to act NOW. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban virtually all flavored vapes, stripping consumers of their right to choose and devastating small businesses across the state.
This isn’t just another policy debate—this is an urgent threat to the vaping industry, business owners, and adult consumers who rely on flavored alternatives. If this bill passes, businesses will only be allowed to sell products with an approved PMTA, cutting out most of today’s top-selling products. Worse yet, severe penalties will be imposed on any shop that continues selling unapproved flavors.
What’s Being Done?
We are working alongside the Vapor Technology Association (VTA) and have lobbyists on the ground in South Dakota fighting against this harmful legislation. But they can’t do it alone—they need backup from business owners and consumers like YOU to push back against the ban.

The Clock is Ticking!
The more emails and calls we generate, the stronger our impact will be. This is our chance to push back before it’s too late.
