South Dakota Vape and E-Cigarette Retail Rules

Under SDCL 10-50 and SDCL 34-46, retailers selling vapor products must hold a valid tobacco license issued by the Department of Revenue, conduct ID verification for buyers under 30, and prevent sales to anyone under 21. Vape products fall within the state's tobacco product definition for purposes of taxation and youth access enforcement. Self-service displays are restricted to adult-only retailers, and online sales must verify age at delivery.

Selling vapor products without a license or to minors is a Class 2 misdemeanor with fines up to $500; repeat violations can lead to license suspension and revocation.
