Relating to Vape Shop Regulations

HB 2746 regulates vape shops in West Virginia by prohibiting retailers from selling electronic smoking devices (e-cigarettes, vapes, etc.) outside original packaging, to anyone under 21, to visibly impaired individuals, or during unauthorized hours. It also bans allowing consumption on premises, altering product information, or permitting minors under 18 to sell devices (with limited exceptions for 16-17 year olds under strict supervision). Violations are misdemeanors punishable by fines up to $5,000 or up to one year in jail. The bill requires vape shops to follow state safety standards set by the Health and Agriculture Departments and coordinate with them for approved product sales. It directly affects vape shop owners and employees operating under retail licenses.
