An outright flavor ban \u2014 as some vape shop owners have feared and some health advocates have pleaded for \u2014 has not been proposed in legislation. According to proposed bill SB0037, vaping and e-cigarette products would be considered the same as tobacco products and subject to the same rules. \u201cIt establishes, hopefully, one of the best preventive measures, and that is it puts a significant tax on vaping e-cigarettes and vaping products, which will be the same tax which is on other tobacco products,\u201d said Christensen, the bill\u2019s sponsor. That tax would be 86% of the manufacturer\u2019s sale price, Christensen explained, as it is for tobacco products. The bill would also restrict online sale of vaping products and carry a large fine for the seller.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/utah\/2020\/1\/29\/21080277\/vaping-legislators-new-bills-teen-underage-ecigarettes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Utah lawmakers look to continue efforts to stem youth vaping<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/~2020\/bills\/static\/SB0037.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PROPOSED UTAH BILL SB0037<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20UTAH%20%5B86%25%20Vape%20Tax%20%2B%20Flavor%20%26amp%3B%20Online%20Sales%20Restrictions%20%2B%20Reclassify%20Vape%20Products%20As%20Tobacco%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Utah legislators this session are pushing to add a state tax to e-cigarettes, limit the sale of flavored products to specialty tobacco stores and raise&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent_news","category-vaping-news","wpcat-15-id","wpcat-147-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20388"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20389,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20388\/revisions\/20389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
