On April 23, 2026, Maine became the first U.S. state to enact an extended producer responsibility (EPR) law that targets “electronic smoking devices” used to consume nicotine and cannabis. The Act to Create a Stewardship Program for Electronic Smoking Devices and Related Products (LD 1519) applies to every company that qualifies as a “producer” of “electronic smoking devices” sold in Maine. That will likely include all major manufacturers and brand-holders of electronic smoking devices, such as e-cigarettes, vape pens, and refill cartridges.
