Texas retailers face tobacco marketing limits

Beginning September 1, 2025, Texas retailers cannot use certain signs, logos, or designs to market, advertise, or sell cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or other tobacco products. The ban covers cartoon-like fictional characters mainly meant to entertain minors. It also covers designs copying trademarks or looks of products mainly marketed to minors, and symbols mainly used to market to minors. Celebrity images and images resembling food, such as candy or juice, are also banned. A violation is a Class B misdemeanor.
