Vapor product retailers in King County must hold a Washington vapor product license issued by the Liquor and Cannabis Board under RCW 70.345. Sales to minors are prohibited, online age verification is required, and self-service displays are restricted for non-cigarette tobacco and vapor products.
RCW 70.345 requires every business selling vapor products to hold an annual WSLCB license. Retailers must verify customer age, restrict displays so products are accessible only to staff, and use age verification for online and delivery sales. The 2019 emergency executive order banned flavored vapor products temporarily; current law continues to require nicotine warning labels and child-resistant packaging. PHSKC partners on compliance checks. King County also adopted clean indoor air rules that include vapor products under RCW 70.160, prohibiting vaping in enclosed public places and workplaces.
Operating without a vapor license, failing online age verification, or selling to minors can result in fines, license suspension or revocation, and closure orders by the Liquor and Cannabis Board.
