Governor signs bill regulating electronic cigarette products.
9:52 AMSALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 Utah) Gov. Gary R. Herbert signed 42 bills Tuesday, bringing the total number of bills signed from the 2015 General Legislative Session to 144.
HB 415 places state restrictions on the selling or distribution of electronic cigarette products. It allows the Dept. of Health to determine product quality, nicotine content, and packaging and labeling standards.“Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine and other harmful, addictive substances,” said Gov. Herbert. “As marketing and sales of e-cigarettes increase, taxation and regulations similar to those imposed on traditional tobacco products should be enforced to protect public health.”
