Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed a bill Wednesday banning the sale of flavored vape products in the state.
Senate Bill 61 outlaws the sale of flavored e-cigarette cartridges and disposable devices, specifically targeting flavors such as fruit, candy, dessert, alcoholic beverages, spice, or mint.
Menthol and tobacco flavors will still be allowed. The ban will take effect on Jan. 1, 2025.
According to media reports, the Utah bill bans flavored vapes and outlaws the sale of any vape that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not authorized.
Initially, the bill allowed mint as a flavor, but lawmakers later removed it in a late-session agreement.
Last month, protesters gathered in the capitol rotunda to stand against the bill. Many were adults who said they enjoy using flavored vape products, and some noted that vaping has helped wean them off more damaging cigarettes.
