Tobacco and vape retailers in Westchester County must register with the NY Department of Taxation and Finance and follow Tobacco 21 under NY Public Health Law. Westchester County Code Chapter 833 adds local restrictions on flavored products and youth-facing displays.
Sales of tobacco, e-cigarettes, and vapor products require a NY State Certificate of Registration renewed annually. NY raised the minimum sales age to 21 in 2019 (NY PHL Section 1399-aa). Westchester County prohibits flavored vape sales and limits how products can be advertised near schools under Chapter 833 of the County Code. Retailers must verify ID for buyers appearing under 30 and keep products behind the counter. The county enforces alongside the State Department of Health and may suspend retail registration for repeat violations.
First offense fines start around $300 with escalating penalties for repeat violations. Persistent violators risk suspension of the state retail registration and seizure of inventory.
