New Vape Law Paused By State Supreme Court

New Law Only Paused By Court

Vape Law Paused In Alabama

A new law concerning vapes in Alabama is paused but not yet up in smoke. Members of the Alabama Supreme Court recently kept a temporary restraining order on a new vape law in a 4-3 decision. Montgomery County Circuit Judge Monet Gaines granted a temporary restraining order in August against State enforcement of a recently passed vape law.


The new law, which has a 21+ minimum age limit on product sales, passed in the 2025 legislative session and restricted the sale of vape products in Alabama and increased fines for businesses.

The Vapor Technology Association, a national trade association, and Southside Vape requested the temporary restraining order as part of a lawsuit filed against the state of Alabama.


The Alabama Hemp and Vape Association applauded the Supreme Court’s ruling.



Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association, said, “Last month, VTA’s legal team in Alabama used a strong legal strategy that convinced the judge to keep the injunction in place against the Alabama PMTA registry law—even though the judge denied our Preliminary Injunction.”


“The State appealed, and VTA filed a cross-appeal with the Alabama Supreme Court. The State also tried to get the injunction lifted by asking the AL Supreme Court to stay the injunction during the appeal,” Abboud added. “This means the TRO/injunction REMAINS IN EFFECT. Shops can continue operating under the protections we secured. This injunction could remain in place 6–9 more months, giving us more time and more leverage. During this period, VTA will be back in the Alabama Legislature working to change the law altogether.”


Local parents along the Baldwin Highway 59 corridor have pushed to have the age limits and other rules enforced in their communities.


The bill will be reviewed by the court again during the first quarter of 2026 and is expected to see strong support from parents for its implementation.
