Washington banned the possession and sales of e-cigarettes to minors but online availability still makes it difficult to enforce. Marketing e-cigarettes also remains largely unregulated. Many states are waiting for FDA statements and laws regarding these new cigarette alternatives. Below are the tobacco laws for Washington State:
In the state of Washington, individuals under the age of 18 are prohibited by law, specifically WASH. REV. CODE § 70.155.080, from purchasing, attempting to purchase, possessing, or acquiring tobacco or tobacco products. Violations of this law carry certain penalties. Firstly, individuals may be subject to a fine not exceeding $50. In addition to the fine, they may be required to participate in a smoking cessation program, which aims to raise awareness and support their efforts to quit smoking. Furthermore, as part of the penalty, individuals might also be mandated to complete 4 hours of community service. This requirement promotes a sense of responsibility and encourages them to contribute to their community. The objective of these penalties is to discourage underage tobacco use, while also emphasizing the importance of education and community engagement in addressing this issue effectively.
