license program and enforce state laws and rules and federal laws and regulations that govern the 
retail sale of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems.   WTO Members and their stakeholders

Requirements for Prefilled Inhalant Delivery Systems; Packaging Requirements for Liquid Nicotine 
Containers; Packaging Requirements for Prefilled I nhalant Delivery Systems; Packaging 
Requirements for Fillable Inhalant Delivery Systems; and Verification of Packaging that is Child -

portion of the Packaging  and Labeling rule, and the Civil Penalties rule because proposed rule 
changes incorporate the inspection, violation, and revocation language in other portions of the 
rules.   Additional information concerning the Oregon Tobacco Retail License Program is ac cessible
