Mount Baker Vapor Leaving Washington State

Would state or city vape regulations ever cause you to move your business elsewhere? Mount Baker Vapor recently announced their move from Bellingham, WA to Mesa, AZ citing onerous state regulations as the reason.

House Bill 1645 and House Bill 2221 are on track to become law in Washington. In addition to a tax hike that nearly doubles the price, the bills restrict sampling and institute a ban on flavors.

Some Arizona cities have introduced legislation in regards to vaping, but on the state level, there is only a law banning sales to minors.
