Full Breakdown
Town of Davie Code § 13-57 makes it unlawful to sell, give, or furnish an electronic vaporizer, including e-cigarettes, e-cigars, and e-pipes, to anyone under 18. Retailers must demand ID from any buyer who appears under 27 and post a sign reading "You must be 18 years or older to purchase any e-cigarette, ID is required." Separately, the ordinance bans placing electronic vaporizers in any self-service vending machine anywhere in town, regardless of buyer age. Police officers and town code enforcement officers both have authority to enforce the section, and violations trigger escalating civil fines rather than an immediate business-tax revocation.

A first violation carries a fine up to $1,000 per day; repeat violations up to $5,000 per day under § 13-57(e), with possible business tax receipt suspension or revocation.
