What the record says

Oklahoma law in force bars anyone from knowingly manufacturing, distributing, selling or furnishing a vapor product that is not in the directory kept by the ABLE Commission (63 O.S. 1-229.35(D)). A product is listed only if its manufacturer attests it was on the U.S. market by August 8, 2016 with a premarket application filed by September 9, 2020, or that it holds an FDA marketing order or other authorization; the directory was due by October 1, 2023. Sale to anyone under 21 is barred (63 O.S. 1-229.13). No statewide flavor ban. 2025-2026 bills to move the directory to the Attorney General were not enacted. See the federal page.

Controlling language, verbatim

D.  It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to knowingly manufacture, distribute, sell, barter, or furnish in this state any vapor product that is not included in the directory.
