Bill > HB2609

This bill amends existing law to exempt vapor products from the tobacco products tax by adding a definition for "vapor products" to the relevant section of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), which outlines definitions for tobacco products. Specifically, it inserts language into the definition of "tobacco products" to exclude vapor products, as defined in RCW 70.345.010, and certain FDA-approved pharmaceutical products. This change means that the tax previously applied to a broad range of tobacco and nicotine-containing items will no longer apply to these vapor products.
