AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the regulation of vapor products in Washington. It amends the existing law to define "flavored vapor products" and grants the Department of Health the authority to restrict the sale of any flavored vapor product that may be injurious to human health or pose a significant public health risk. The bill also requires the State Board of Health to determine the allowable nicotine concentration for any vapor product sold in the state, and mandates that manufacturers disclose the concentration and form of nicotine, as well as all ingredients that may be inhaled, to the Department of Health. Additionally, the Department of Health is required to publish this information and a guide on potential health risks associated with the product ingredients.
