Stedman, NC Business Licensing & Operations: Tobacco Retail License (2026)

Chapter 70 of the Stedman Town Code, 'Smoke & Vape Shops,' regulates smoke and vape shops directly rather than through the zoning ordinance's use table. 01 to include tobacco products, alternative nicotine products, vape juice, vape products, and non-traditional tobacco paraphernalia such as grinders, bongs, hookah pipes, and hidden-compartment storage devices, may be sold on any premises within 100 yards of a church building or church-owned property, or within one mile of any school building, educational building, school grounds, or property owned or leased to a public or private school or school board for elementary or secondary education.

01(C) as a minor. 02(B) gives Code Enforcement Officers for Cumberland County and the Town of Stedman authority to inspect any covered business during its open hours to verify compliance with the chapter and state law, without limiting any other municipal, county, state, or federal inspection authority. 00, with each violation treated as a distinct offense carrying its own citation and penalty. 01(F) as a business drawing at least 75 percent of its annual revenue from smoking, e-cigarette, and vape products and accessories, so the distance rule and its penalties reach any retailer that meets that revenue threshold, not only stores branded as vape shops.
