WA - EMERGENCY Flavor Ban Alert!
Today (Friday, 09/27), Governor Jay Inslee announced that he would be issuing an executive order directing the state Board of Health to ban all flavored vaping products. This is a misguided approach that lacks a basic understanding of the public health crisis around blackmarket oil-based cannabis products in states where marjiuana is illegal.
The State Board of Health is being ordered to take up this issue at its next scheduled meeting on
