“The state of Washington’s temporary ban on flavored vapes and THC vaping products has lapsed. As of Friday, these goods can be offered for sale again and purchased by users. Last October, Washington’s Board of Health declared a 120-day emergency ban on these products. In November, state legislators drafted a bill that would have made the ban permanent. Ultimately, Washington lawmakers modified the bill to bar only products containing vitamin E acetate, effectively sanctioning the sale and purchase of flavored and THC vaping goods lacking it. Nevertheless, the bill still carries restrictions, such as a requirement that customers be at least 21 years of age to buy these products. Additionally, those purchasing flavored vapes will have to pay a 37% excise tax on them. With the new bill still moving through the legislative process, the state allowed the temporary ban to expire.”
