Spokane and Washington have not enacted a comprehensive flavored-tobacco or flavored-vape ban, but federal FDA premarket-authorization rules effectively restrict many flavored cartridge-based vapor products nationwide.
Unlike California, New York City, and several Massachusetts municipalities, Washington has not adopted a statewide ban on flavored tobacco or flavored vapor products, and Spokane has not adopted a local one. Menthol cigarettes and most flavored cigars remain available from licensed retailers. However, federal FDA enforcement under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act has effectively removed most flavored prefilled cartridge vape products from the market, leaving open-system e-liquids and disposables in a more uncertain status. SRHD has lobbied for stronger restrictions but lacks unilateral authority.
Selling FDA-unauthorized flavored cartridge products can trigger federal warning letters, civil penalties, and seizure independent of state or local enforcement.
