Bill > SB6254

This bill enhances the regulation of vapor products in Washington state. Key provisions include: 1. Defining new terms like "flavored vapor product" and prohibiting the sale of disposable flavored vapor products and vapor products containing vitamin E acetate. 2. Requiring vapor product retailers to obtain a license and prohibiting them from allowing anyone under 21 to enter their premises. Distributors must also obtain a license. 3. Imposing a 5% special excise tax on the retail sale of flavored vapor products, with the revenue going to public health services and tobacco/vapor prevention efforts. 4. Repealing the previous delivery sale license and restricting remote sales of vapor products to Washington residents. The bill increases penalties for illegal vapor product sales and distribution. Overall, the bill aims to protect public health, particularly by reducing youth access and appeal of flavored vapor products, which have been fueling an epidemic of youth nicotine addiction.
