MONTGOMERY — Having just gone into effect on Sunday, Alabama’s new law regulating vapes and electronic nicotine devices is being challenged in federal court by the convenience store and gas station industry. The new law, the result of House Bill 8 sponsored by Rep. Barbara Drummond, D-Mobile, prohibits the sale of vape products outside of vape stores and specialty shops, save for a select few products authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
