Franklin County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate heard arguments yesterday in a case centered on House Bill 11.
The bill was passed during the 2024 legislative session and signed into law by Governor Andy Beshear back in April.
It limits the sale of vaping products to a small number of brands approved by the FDA.
Lawmakers in support of the bill say limiting sales will help keep them away from underage smokers.
Opponents say the bill will close small vape shots without reducing the risks for kids.
And they argue the FDA has unfairly limited the number of approved vaping products, which is a matter the US Supreme Court will take up later this year.
The Kentucky Lantern reports Judge Wingate said it will take a while for him to review this case.
House Bill 11 is set to take effect January 1st of next year.
