State-level disposable vape bans are accelerating. If you live in one of these states, the disposable vs refillable question may be decided for you:
| State | Restriction | Effective Date | What's Banned |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | AB762 disposable ban | Signed 2025 | All disposable nicotine vapes Total Ban |
| New York | Flavored nicotine vape ban | Active | All flavored disposables except tobacco |
| Massachusetts | Flavored vape ban | Active | All flavored disposables except tobacco |
| New Jersey | Flavored vape ban | Active | All flavored disposables except tobacco |
| Rhode Island | Flavored vape ban | Active | All flavored disposables except tobacco |
| 14+ states | PMTA registry laws | Various | Non-FDA-authorized disposables |
For California vapers, the California disposable vape ban guide covers what AB762 means and how to transition to legal alternatives. In registry states, only products with active FDA PMTA authorization can be sold — and most flavored disposables do not qualify.
