Florida Statute §877.112 raised the legal sales age for tobacco and nicotine products to 21 in 2021, aligning with federal Tobacco 21 law. Miami-Dade enforces ID verification at retail. Sales to anyone under 21, including military personnel, are prohibited; the prior military exemption no longer applies.
Florida SB 1080 codified at FL §877.112 took effect October 1, 2021, raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco products and nicotine dispensing devices including vape pens from 18 to 21, mirroring federal Tobacco 21 enacted in 2019. Retailers must check ID for any buyer who appears under 30. Miami-Dade tobacco retail license holders face graduated state penalties for sales-to-minor violations. The previous military exemption was eliminated; active-duty members under 21 cannot purchase. Online and mail order sales must use age-verification services. Local Miami-Dade rules cannot override the state minimum but the county runs compliance check programs with FDOH.
Sales to a person under 21 trigger state administrative fines starting around $500 and potential tobacco retail permit suspension after repeat violations.
