Tobacco retailers in unincorporated San Bernardino County need a county tobacco retailer license alongside the state CDTFA license, and California prohibits sales of most flavored tobacco products under SB 793.
The County Department of Public Health administers a tobacco retailer license program for unincorporated areas, requiring annual renewal, age-of-sale signage, and compliance checks. Statewide, SB 793 bans the sale of most flavored tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes and flavored vape liquids. Retailers must also hold a California Department of Tax and Fee Administration license and verify buyers are 21 or older under the federal Tobacco 21 law and California Business and Professions Code section 22963.
Selling without a license, supplying minors, or stocking banned flavored tobacco can lead to license suspension, fines, and CDTFA action.
