Introduction
E-cigarette use among adolescents has been considered a global public health concern.1 To prevent youth access to flavored e-cigarette products, California enacted Senate Bill (SB) 793 on December 21, 2022, prohibiting the sale of most flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, while exempting hookah, premium cigars, and loose-leaf tobacco.2 This survey study examined attempted online purchases of flavored e-cigarette products to researchers posing as minors (age <21 years) before and after SB 793.
