State health officials will hold a public meeting on Friday to gather feedback on Gov. Charlie Baker’s vape ban — a required legal step the state bypassed before issuing the four-month prohibition, according to a Superior Court judge.

Suffolk Superior Court Judge Douglas Wilkins ruled on Oct. 21 that the Baker administration must, in effect, reissue the temporary ban as an emergency regulation and take regulatory steps that it skipped earlier, including holding a public hearing and assessing the fiscal impact on small businesses.

Baker announced the ban on Sept. 24 in response to the outbreak of vaping-related lung illness. To date, three Massachusetts residents have died of vaping illnesses.

As required by Wilkins’ ruling, the state has since filed an emergency regulation with the Secretary of State, and the ban remains in effect. The emergency regulation, filed as Severe Lung Disease Associated with Vaping Products, will be the subject of Friday’s meeting.

The hearing will take place at the Public Health Council room on the second floor of the Department of Public Health building, located at 250 Washington Street in Boston. The meeting begins at 10:30 a.m., and health officials are accepting written testimony until 5 p.m.

Electronic testimony must be submitted to Reg.Testimony@state.ma.us. “Vaping products regulation” should be in the subject line, and all submissions should include the sender’s full name and address.
