This bill would lift Utah's ban on flavored electronic cigarettes but allow their sale only if they meet new tracking and registry rules. It would also add a tax on those products, raise permit fees for tobacco retailers, add ID scanning and surveillance requirements for specialty tobacco shops, and create new criminal penalties.
