Vermont raised the legal age to purchase tobacco, electronic cigarettes, and tobacco substitutes to 21 under 7 V.S.A. Section 1003. Burlington retailers must verify age with photo identification before any sale.
Effective September 1, 2019, Vermont's Tobacco 21 law in 7 V.S.A. Section 1003 prohibits the sale of tobacco products, tobacco substitutes, and electronic cigarettes to anyone under 21. Burlington retailers including convenience stores, gas stations, and dedicated vape shops must check government-issued photo identification for any customer who appears under 30. Both face-to-face and remote sales are covered. The state Department of Liquor and Lottery enforces compliance through routine inspections and undercover compliance checks. Penalties include fines, license suspension, and revocation for repeat offenses.
Selling tobacco or vaping products to a customer under 21 results in fines, license suspension, and possible permanent revocation of the retailer's tobacco license.
