AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the regulation of vapor products in Washington. It amends the definitions in the existing law to include "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 risk to public health. The bill also requires the State Board of Health to determine the allowable nicotine concentration for any vapor product sold or offered for sale in the state, and mandates manufacturers or distributors to label vapor products with the required information. Additionally, the bill requires all manufacturers of nicotine-containing vapor products to disclose the concentration and form of nicotine, as well as all ingredients or product elements that may be inhaled, to the Department of Health, which will then publish this information on the internet along with a guide on the potential harms associated with the products and their ingredients.
