A Utah judge has granted a restraining order that temporarily prevents the implementation of a ban on flavored vape products across the state. The ban, outlined in Senate Bill 61 or the "Electronic Cigarette Amendments," was signed by the governor in March and set to take effect this week.
The legislation aimed to outlaw the sale of flavored vape products and any vape product not authorized by the federal government. However, the judge's decision to grant the restraining order delays the restrictions until further notice.
