华盛顿州提议禁止烟草和尼古丁产品, Washington State proposes banning flavored tobacco and nicotine products to curb youth vaping.

华盛顿州立法者正在提出1203号众议院法案,禁止烟草和尼古丁产品,以减少青年的抽吸。 Washington State lawmakers are proposing House Bill 1203 to ban flavored tobacco and nicotine products to reduce youth vaping. 该法案如获通过,将禁止从2026年1月1日起出售口味电子香烟、尼古丁袋和其他口味烟草产品。 The bill, if passed, would prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and other flavored tobacco products starting January 1, 2026. 零售商需要展示禁止销售这些物品的标志,并对违规行为处以罚款和吊销执照等刑罚。 Retailers would need to display signs prohibiting these sales, with penalties including fines and license suspensions for violations. 这一行动旨在解决疾控中心将青年排便定为流行病的问题,因为大多数吸烟的青年先从调味产品开始。 The move aims to address the CDC's designation of youth vaping as an epidemic, as most youth who use tobacco start with flavored products.
