What the record says

MCL 722.644(h) defines a vapor product as a noncombustible electronic product that produces vapor from nicotine or any other substance, including cartridges and e-liquid, and MCL 722.641 bars selling one to anyone under 21, with photo ID checks and third-party age verification for internet sales. No statewide flavor ban, FDA-authorization directory, state retail license or state excise tax on vapor products is in force. Bills to license retailers (SB 462 and SB 465, passed by the Senate) and to tax vapor and nicotine products (SB 582) are pending in the 2025-2026 session.
