As of today, we will no longer be shipping orders of any product from Mt Baker Vapor to the State of Utah. This is due to Utah HB 0415. You can read the full text of the Bill by clicking this link.
This legislation reclassifies vaping products as tobacco products in the state of Utah and places “restrictions on mail order or Internet sales.” It is important to note that MBV Wholesale customers will not be effected. We are still allowed to make shipments to licensed re-sellers such as vape shops.
We are deeply saddened by this development. It is an unfortunate result of the miseducation of government officials on the differences between tobacco products and vaping products. However, if you are an Utah vaper, you can still fight back against this oppressive regulation.
You can let your legislators know about your displeasure with this law by clicking this link to look up your Utah Representatives and Senators. You can then use the following links to find whether or not they voted for HB 0415:
Senate Voting Record
If you find that your Senator or Congressperson voted for this bill, let them know the effect this law is having on your life and express your disappointment. If they voted against it, thank them for their support but also reinforce the negative impact this bill has had on your life. It is extremely important that you let your opinion be known.
If you are not an Utah resident but would like to contribute to the fight for vaping rights in the United States, we highly recommend joining the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA). It costs nothing to sign up and they will keep you informed with developments in the fight for vaping rights at the National level as well as with local Calls to Action based on your State.
Again, we are deeply saddened by the development in Utah. However, we believe that consumer voices can still make a difference in changing this law for the better and in preventing further harmful regulation. We highly encourage you to take the time to let your voice be heard.
Grass-roots support is one of our most powerful assets. Let’s show State Governments just how powerful the vaping community can be.
