OLYMPIA, WA — In the wake of an emergency rule banning the sale of all flavored vapor products, the state Liquor and Cannabis Board released new guidelines for Washington vape shop owners. Stores are now required to immediately post signs warning of potential lung injuries due to vaping and recommending the public not use the products.

Officials are also asking stores that sell vapor products to cooperate with local, state and federal health agencies who are investigating which specific products may be linked to lung injuries. Washington State currently has seven confirmed cases of lung illnesses linked to vaping, with more than a thousand reported nationwide.

An updated list of products that are allowed or not allowed is posted on the LCB website.
