Tobacco retailers in Moorpark must hold California's state tobacco retailer license through CDTFA and comply with statewide flavor-tobacco bans and federal Tobacco 21 age requirements.
California requires every tobacco retailer to hold a CDTFA cigarette and tobacco-products license per Business and Professions Code section 22972. Moorpark retailers must also hold a city business license under MMC Title 5. California's SB 793 (2022) banned most flavored tobacco products statewide, including menthol cigarettes and flavored vape pods, with limited exceptions. Federal Tobacco 21 law sets minimum sale age at 21. Retailers must check ID, post warnings, and submit to STAKE Act decoy operations conducted by the California Department of Public Health.
Selling tobacco without a CDTFA license, selling to minors, or stocking banned flavored products may result in license suspension, fines up to $6,000, and seizure of inventory.
