HB 1203 and its companion in the Senate, SB 5183, would ban sales of nicotine and tobacco products in flavors other than tobacco — even if they’ve been authorized by FDA. This means that several products sold in mint, menthol, or wintergreen would be summarily banned without any scientific review by the legislature or state health department.
These bills have been prefiled and are not currently scheduled for a hearing. CASAA will update this call to action as more information becomes available.
Advocates in Washington are encouraged to take this opportunity to send a message to your state lawmakers urging them to oppose HB 1203/SB 5183 and any other legislation that would severely restrict your access to safer nicotine products. Washington’s legislative session begins on Monday, January 13, 2025.
