Requires that all companies that sell electronic cigarettes shall annually disclose to the commissioner of health their online advertising expenditures from the previous fiscal year; makes related provisions.

This bill requires companies that sell electronic cigarettes to report their online advertising spending to the state's health commissioner every year. This is intended to increase transparency about how much these companies are investing in online marketing. The goal is to better understand the advertising strategies used to promote these products.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will enhance public health efforts by providing valuable data on how electronic cigarettes are marketed online. They believe that greater transparency will help regulators and health officials address the rising use of these products, particularly among young people. This legislation is seen as a proactive step in promoting responsible advertising practices.

Critics of the bill may argue that it imposes unnecessary burdens on businesses and could stifle innovation in the electronic cigarette market. They might contend that the requirement to disclose advertising expenditures could lead to a chilling effect on marketing strategies. Additionally, some may view this as an overreach of government regulation into private business practices.
