As of Friday, these goods can be offered for sale again and purchased by users. Last October, Washington&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2020\/02\/07\/washington-state-removes-ban-on-thc-flavored-vapes.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington State&#8217;s Ban on Flavored and THC Vapes Expires<\/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%20WASHINGTON%20STATE%20%5BFlavor%20Ban%20Expires%20%2B%2037%25%20Vape%20Tax%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;The state of Washington&#8217;s temporary ban on flavored vapes and THC vaping products has lapsed.
