Exempting vapor products from the tobacco products tax.

HB 2609 exempts vapor products from Washington State's tobacco products tax by amending the definition of "tobacco products" in tax law (RCW 82.26.010) to explicitly exclude vapor products as defined in RCW 70.345.010. This change directly affects vapor product sellers and consumers, removing an existing tax burden on these products. The bill modifies the tax code's definition to clarify that vapor products are not considered taxable tobacco products, aligning with existing state regulations for vapor products. No new tax rates or fees are created; the policy change solely removes vapor products from the current tobacco tax framework.
