The Department of Health and Human Services will hold a public hearing to receive public comments on  
proposed changes to the Protection of Youth from Nicotine Product Addiction rule set.  
These rules will prohibit the selling, offering for sale, giving, transporting, or otherwise distributing of  
flavored nicotine vapor products. The rules will also prohibit possessing these products with the intent to  
sell. The rules will also prohibit the use of fraudulent or misleading terms or statements to sell or  
distribute vapor products. Lastly, the rules will limit access to products that are more appealing to youth  
through specific advertisement restrictions of vapor products. The Department anticipates that it may act  
via these rules to restrict the sale and advertisement of other nicotine products.
