Utah's vapor product market currently includes not just nicotine e-cigarettes but also "non-nicotine inhalation products," such as prefilled vape devices containing vitamins, minerals, or other substances with no nicotine or cannabinoids. This bill would require these non-nicotine vaping products and substances to be registered with the state before they can legally be sold, using a process similar to the state's existing electronic cigarette registry, and would require manufacturers to show FDA approval or pending federal review as part of registration. Retailers who sell unregistered non-nicotine inhalation products would face escalating civil penalties, starting at $1,500 for a first violation and increasing to $6,000 plus loss of their sales permit for a third violation, with a two-year wait before a revoked retailer could reapply. The bill also clarifies that cannabinoid products regulated under Utah's hemp law cannot be classified as electronic cigarettes, and updates various definitions across state tobacco, hemp, and criminal law to distinguish nicotine products, non-nicotine inhalation products, and cannabinoid products from one another.
