Additional business information
On June 9, 2024, The Attorney General filed a complaint against three Ohio businesses for unfair or deceptive practices under the state Consumer Sales Practices Act. The charges include selling illegal vapes, failing to disclose the illegality of these products, and misrepresenting their authorization status. The case was assigned, Case No. 2024 CVC-H 000327.
Investigations by Yost’s office revealed that Orrville Tobacco and Vape Shop in Orrville, Ohio (Wayne County) was selling illegal flavored vapes in defiance of a warning letter sent from Yost’s office on April 5, 2024. Notably, the Orville Tobacco & Vape, LLC is located less than a mile from Orville High School, Orville Junior High School, and Orville Elementary School.
Unauthorized vapes pose a significant public health threat. The inhalation of harmful chemicals found in vapes – oftentimes including formaldehyde, a known carcinogen – endangers the health of Ohio residents, especially adolescents. Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), commonly known as e-cigarettes or vapes, are battery-powered devices that heat a liquid, typically containing nicotine, to create an aerosol that is inhaled. These devices vary in appearance, from conventional cigarette look-alikes to sleek designs resembling pens or USB flash drives.
Federal law mandates that all new tobacco products, including vapes, receive pre-market authorization from the Food and Drug Administration before being sold in the United States. To date, the FDA has authorized only 27 e-cigarette products, all tobacco or menthol-flavored. Any vape products not authorized by the FDA, including those sold in Ohio, are illegal.
