East Tenn. vape shop owner testifies against new vape bill in TN Capitol

The article from WJHL discusses how Chris McCall, the owner of a vape shop in East Tennessee, testified against a new vape bill at the Tennessee State Capitol. The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 1848, aims to regulate the sale of vaping products by requiring manufacturers to submit their products for review by the Tennessee Department of Health before they can be sold. McCall argued that this bill would severely impact small vape shops like his, potentially driving them out of business due to the high costs and bureaucratic hurdles involved in the approval process. He highlighted that the bill could limit consumer access to safer alternatives to smoking, as many products might not get approved or could be too expensive for small businesses to carry. McCall's testimony reflects broader concerns within the vaping community about government overreach and the potential negative economic effects on small businesses.
