A controversial new law came into effect this week placing stringent restrictions on how vape stores across Texas market and advertise products in-store. Designed to discourage underage vaping, House Bill 7458 bans vape retailers from using imagery likely to appeal to minors like cartoons, celebrities or food items. Shops found violating the regulations face up to 6 months jail time or $2000 fines. For many vape store owners already adhering to 21+ age verification policies, the blanket marketing ban feels excessive and unnecessarily damaging. Employees now face the hassle and cost of removing or heavily discounting compliant stock featuring previously…
