South Carolina senators are renewing efforts to establish a vape registry in the state.

On Thursday, a bill was sent to the Senate floor that would create a list of vaping and e-cigarette products permitted for sale based on their authorization or pending authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

While the Senate Medical Affairs Committee voted to advance the bill, some lawmakers signaled they would propose changes once it reaches the Senate floor.

A similar bill passed the Senate unanimously last year but failed to receive a hearing in the House.

The ten senators in the committee meeting agreed on one key issue—that children have too much access to vaping products.

“It’s kind of scary how much this stuff’s in middle schools,” said Sen. Josh Kimbrell, who has two sons in middle school, media reports.

However, some senators cautioned that relying solely on the FDA’s registry, which currently authorizes only tobacco- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes, could harm businesses selling products that are still navigating the lengthy federal approval process.

“You’re essentially going to shut them down,” Kimbrell warned.

Kimbrell and Sen. Matt Leber proposed an alternative approach, suggesting that South Carolina vet e-cigarettes independently to create a state registry of products likely to receive federal approval. Both senators said they plan to research the issue further and propose modifications when the bill reaches the Senate floor.

Sen. Billy Garrett pushed back on the idea, emphasizing the urgency of taking action.

“We’ve got to do something now,” Garrett said. “We’ve got to stop it right now.”
