Vape shops prepare for probable ban on flavored products

The Washington State Board of Health is expected to rule on an emergency ban of flavored vaping products on Wednesday. In an executive order, Gov. Jay Inslee requested the state Board of Health use emergency rulemaking to ban flavored vaping products. This comes after a national outbreak of vaping-related illnesses. The CDC reports more than 1,000 cases and 18 deaths across the country. Vape shops across the state are concerned what banning flavored products will mean for their livelihoods.
