Tobacco retailers in Cheyenne must hold WY Department of Revenue tobacco licenses under Wyo. Stat. Title 39 ch. 18, comply with federal Tobacco 21 floor, and follow city business registration requirements through the Clerk.
Wyoming licenses tobacco retailers statewide through the Department of Revenue under Wyo. Stat. Title 39 ch. 18, with annual fees and compliance inspections. Cheyenne adds standard business licensing through the City Clerk under Title 3. Wyoming sets the legal sale age at 21 under Wyo. Stat. §35-9-202, matching the federal Tobacco 21 floor. Retailers must verify ID for buyers appearing under 30, post age signage, and avoid sales to minors. Wyoming preempts most local tobacco regulation, so Cheyenne cannot impose flavor bans, retail caps, or stricter age limits beyond state law. Compliance checks occur periodically.
Selling tobacco without a state license, sales to under-21 buyers, missing required signage, or vending machine placement violations trigger fines, license suspension, and possible criminal misdemeanor.
