This means that thousands of Pennsylvania’s vape vendors may only purchase products from certified manufacturers.
The AG’s office said that it will “maintain and make publicly available a directory that lists all manufacturers of electronic cigarettes that contain nicotine, brand names, categories (such as e-liquid, e-liquid cartridge, e-liquid pod, or disposable), product names, and flavors — for which certification forms have been submitted and approved by the Attorney General. The directory will be posted on the Attorney General’s website by June 20, 2026.”

The state’s Vape Directory requires certification of all electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). including any component for which the FDA requires submission of a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA).
Forms, information, and other materials are available online for e-cigarette manufacturers and vendors to comply with Act 57 of 2025, per the AG’s office.
“We commend legislative leaders for taking action to protect children and other Pennsylvanians from consumption of unregulated products,” Attorney General Sunday said. “The Legislature has provided my office with a variety of tools, including significant penalties, the ability to seize unlisted products, and cost recovery from illegal actors, that will help us keep these products from being marketed in Pennsylvania.”
