Some vape shops closing due to Washington's flavored vape ban
At least 377 businesses have discontinued their licenses for vaping products since Washingtons temporary ban on flavored vaping products went into effect in October, according to the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board.
About half of the businesses are stores like Rite AID and Bartell Drugs. The other half are smaller businesses that have closed up shop because flavored vape products were such a big part of their inventory.
Matt Bradley, who was featured on the Discovery Channels Deadliest Catch, owns Sky Vapor in Everett. He hopes Governor Jay Inslee lifts the ban in February.
Bradley has already closed one of his three vape shops due to the ban. He said if the ban isnt lifted, his other two stores will close down too.
