HB 5330 expands the definition of "tobacco product" under the Texas Tax Code to include synthetic nicotine products, closing a loophole that previously excluded them from tobacco taxes. This change ensures that nicotine products not derived from tobacco, such as nicotine pouches and gum, are taxed at the same rate as traditional tobacco products. The law applies to tax liabilities accruing on or after September 1, 2025.
