“The Thurston County Board of Health passed new rules around smoking and vaping in public this week that will apply to all jurisdictions within the county. Starting Jan. 1, 2021, both vaping and smoking will be banned in indoor public places (except for tastings in licensed retailers), places of employment, and some outdoor public places where young people gather, such as playgrounds and child care centers. A rule that bans smoking within 25 feet of doors and other air intakes for indoor spaces will be applied to vaping. Signage will also be required in public spaces and places of employment. Enforcement starts July 1, 2021.”
