Utah health department delays emergency e-cigarette rules

The implementation of an emergency rule that would allow only tobacco specialty shops to sell flavored e-cigarettes — and would require those shops to post signs noting the danger of vaping unregulated THC products — has been pushed back to later in October.

The Utah Department of Health said Wednesday the rule would go into effect on Monday, but announced Thursday they’d pushed it back until Oct. 21 to give retailers, like grocery and convenience stores, time to comply with the rules.

According to a statement from the department, the change comes after health department officials spoke with retail industry representatives.
