Washington RCW 70.345 requires licensing for vapor product retailers, distributors, and delivery sellers, with state Department of Revenue oversight and tax collection.
RCW chapter 70.345 establishes Washington's regulatory framework for vapor products including e-cigarettes and e-liquids. Retailers, distributors, and delivery sellers must obtain a license from the Department of Revenue and comply with packaging, labeling, and child-resistant container requirements. The law restricts sales to minors, requires age verification, and prohibits sampling except in age-restricted vapor product retail outlets. Vapor products are subject to state excise taxes under RCW 82.25. Retailers must verify customer age via government-issued ID for in-person and online sales. Local jurisdictions may impose additional zoning rules but cannot conflict with state licensing requirements.
Operating without a license carries fines up to $500 per violation. Sales to minors result in escalating penalties up to license suspension or revocation under RCW 70.345.090.
