The DPHHS began enforcement of the Emergency Rules on Wednesday at 1:00 pm. 

The restrictions include the sale of all flavored e-cigarette products, including flavored nicotine, THC, and CBD e-cigarette products, in-store and online. The rules did not require retailers to destroy their existing inventory. (source) (notice)

December 13, 2019

The DPHHS Announced its notice of intent to begin enforcing Emergency Rules that temporarily restrict the sale of flavored e-cigarette products in Montana. DPHHS is proceeding with enforcement of the rules, citing that the Temporary Restraining Order preventing enforcement expired by operation of law in October.

Since the Emergency Rules were first announced, DPHHS has confirmed five additional cases of E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) in Montana. (source) (notice)

A hearing to discuss the legality of the Emergency Temporary Ban on flavored e-cigarette products was scheduled for this day. District Judge Jennifer Lint of Hamilton had issued a temporary restraining order, thus halting Governor Steve Bullock’s ban on flavored vaporizers announced earlier that month. The restraining order was issued because it was seen to be a possible infringement of personal rights and illegal under state law. (source)
